Gratitude Is A Lively Sense Of Benefits

It Is Not Expedient Or Wise To Examine Our Friends Too Closely; Few Persons Are Raised In Our Esteem By A Close Examination.

Praise Is Flattery, Artful, Hidden, Delicate, Which Gratifies Differently Him Who Praises And Him Who Is Praised. The One Takes It As The Reward Of Merit, The Other Bestows It To Show His Impartiality And Knowledge.

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

A Man's Happiness Or Unhappiness Depends As Much On His Temperament As On His Destiny.

Often We Are Firm From Weakness, And Audacious From Timidity.
