Affected Simplicity Is A Subtle Imposture.

We Sometimes Imagine We Hate Flattery, But We Only Hate The Way We Are Flattered.

Most People Judge Men By Their Success Or Their Good Fortune.

The Health Of The Soul Is Something We Can Be No More Sure Of Than That Of The Body; And Though A Man May Seem Far From The Passions, Yet He Is In As Much Danger Of Falling Into Them As One In A Perfect State Of Health Of Having A Fit Of Sickness.

Few Things Are Impracticable In Themselves; And It Is For Want Of Application, Rather Than Of Means, That Men Fail To Succeed.

Of All Our Faults, The One That We Excuse Most Easily Is Idleness.
