Imitators Are A Slavish Herd And Fools

The Fastidious Are Unfortunate; Nothing Satisfies Them.

Even If Misfortune Is Only Good For Bringing A Fool To His Senses, It Would Still Be Just To Deem It Good For Something.

Anyone Entrusted With Power Will Abuse It If Not Also Animated With The Love Of Truth And Virtue, No Matter Whether He Be A Prince, Or One Of The People.

There's Nothing Sweeter Than A Real Friend: Not Only Is He Prompt To Lend— An Angler Delicate, He Fishes The Very Deepest Of Your Wishes, And Spares Your Modesty The Task His Friendly Aid To Ask. A Dream, A Shadow, Wakes His Fear, When Pointing At The Object Dear.

Beware, So Long As You Live, Of Judging Men By Their Outward Appearance.
