He Who Lives Without Folly Isn't So

It Is More Often From Pride Than From Defective Understanding That People Oppose Established Opinions: They Find The Best Places Taken In The Good Party And Are Reluctant To Accept Inferior Ones.

If It Requires Great Tact To Speak To The Purpose, It Requires No Less To Know When To Be Silent.

Perfect Valor Is To Do, Without A Witness, All That We Could Do Before The Whole World.

As The Great Ones Of This World Are Unable To Bestow Health Of Body Or Peace Of Mind, We Always Pay Too High A Price For Any Good They Can Do.

Great Souls Are Not Those Who Have Fewer Passions And More Virtues Than Others, But Only Those Who Have Greater Designs.
