Hope Is Nothing But A Deceitful Flatterer

I Have Met With Some Of Them - Very Honest Fellows, Who, With All Their Stupidity, Had A Kind Of Intelligence And An Upright Good Sense, Which Cannot Be The Characteristics Of Fools.

By Recollecting The Pleasures I Have Had Formerly, I Renew Them, I Enjoy Them A Second Time, While I Laugh At The Remembrance Of Troubles Now Past, And Which I No Longer Feel.

Enjoy The Present, Bid Defiance To The Future, Laugh At All Those Reasonable Beings Who Exercise Their Reason To Avoid The Misfortunes Which They Fear, Destroying At The Same Time The Pleasure That They Might Enjoy.

The Story She Had Told Me Was Possible, But It Was Not Believable.

Happy Are Those Lovers Who, When Their Senses Require Rest, Can Fall Back Upon The Intellectual Enjoyments Afforded By The Mind! Sweet Sleep Then Comes, And Lasts Until The Body Has Recovered Its General Harmony. On Awaking, The Senses Are Again Active And Always Ready To Resume Their Action.
