Innocence Is Lucky If It Finds The

Truth Does Less Good In The World Than Its Appearances Do Harm.

Criticism Sometimes Is Really Praise, And Praise Sometimes Slander.

He Who Imagines He Can Do Without The World Deceives Himself Much; But He Who Fancies The World Cannot Do Without Him Is Still More Mistaken.

Prudence And Love Are Inconsistent; In Proportion As The Last Increases, The Other Decreases.

The Vices Enter Into The Composition Of The Virtues, As Poisons Into That Of Medicines. Prudence Collects And Arranges Them, And Uses Them Beneficially Against The Ills Of Life.
