Whatever Ignominy Or Disgrace We Have Incurred,

Confidence Always Pleases Those Who Receive It. It Is A Tribute We Pay To Their Merit, A Deposit We Commit To Their Trust, A Pledge That Gives Them A Claim Upon Us, A Kind Of Dependence To Which We Voluntarily Submit.

It's Easier To Know People In General Than One Person In Particular

One Is Never Fortunate Or As Unfortunate As One Imagines.

We Bear, All Of Us, The Misfortunes Of Other People With Heroic Constancy.

The Desire Of Talking Of Ourselves, And Showing Those Faults We Do Not Mind Having Seen, Makes Up A Good Part Of Our Sincerity.
