Flattery Is A Counterfeit Money Which, But

Nothing Is So Contagious As Example; And We Never Do Any Great Good Or Evil Which Does Not Produce Its Like.

It Is The Habit Of Mediocre Minds To Condemn All That Is Beyond Their Grasp.

It Is More Often From Pride Than From Ignorance That We Are So Obstinately Opposed To Current Opinions; We Find The First Places Taken, And We Do Not Want To Be The Last.

We Often Act Treacherously More From Weakness Than From A Fixed Motive.

However Much We May Distrust Men's Sincerity, We Always Believe They Speak To Us More Sincerely Than To Others.
