Innocence Does Not Find Near So Much

The Esteem Of Good Men Is The Reward Of Our Worth, But The Reputation Of The World In General Is The Gift Of Our Fate.

We Seldom Praise Anyone In Good Earnest, Except Such As Admire Us.

If We Did Not Flatter Ourselves, The Flattery Of Others Could Never Harm Us.

If We Had No Faults, We Would Not Derive So Much Pleasure From Noting Those Of Other People.

How Deceitful Hope May Be, Yet She Carries Us On Pleasantly To The End Of Life.
