It Is Difficult To Like Those Whom

The Pleasure Of Love Is In Loving; We Are Happier In The Passion We Feel Than In What We Inspire.

The Temperament That Produces A Talent For Little Things Is The Opposite Of That Required For Great Ones.

Clemency, Which We Make A Virtue Of, Proceeds Sometimes From Vanity, Sometimes From Indolence, Often From Fear, And Almost Always From A Mixture Of All Three.

Love Of Fame, Fear Of Disgrace, Schemes For Advancement, Desire To Make Life Comfortable And Pleasant, And The Urge To Humiliate Others Are Often At The Root Of The Valour Men Hold In Such High Esteem.

Some Disguised Deceits Counterfeit Truth So Perfectly That Not To Be Taken In By Them Would Be An Error Of Judgment.
