In Love We Often Doubt What We

It Is A Mistake To Imagine, That The Violent Passions Only, Such As Ambition And Love, Can Triumph Over The Rest. Idleness, Languid As It Is, Often Masters Them All; She Influences All Our Designs And Actions, And Insensibly Consumes And Destroys Both Passions And Virtues.

Before Strongly Desiring Anything, We Should Look Carefully Into The Happiness Of Its Present Owner.

The Reason We Do Not Let Our Friends See The Very Bottom Of Our Hearts Is Not So Much Distrust Of Them As Distrust Of Ourselves.

There Are Few People Who Are More Often In The Wrong Than Those Who Cannot Endure To Be So.

True Eloquence Consists In Saying All That Should Be Said, And That Only.
