In Infants, Levity Is A Prettiness; In Men A Shameful Defect; But In Old Age, A Monstrous Folly.

Ability Wins Us The Esteem Of The True Men; Luck, That Of The People.

The Greatest Part Of Intimate Confidences Proceed From A Desire Either To Be Pitied Or Admired.

It Is Worth Nothing To Be Young Without Being Beautiful, Nor To Be Beautiful Without Being Young.
