It's The Height Of Folly To Want

We Are Never So Ridiculous Through What We Are As Through What We Pretend To Be.

It Is Safer To Do Most Men Harm Than To Do Them Too Much Good.

Nature Has Concealed At The Bottom Of Our Minds Talents And Abilities Of Which We Are Not Aware.

The Only Security Is Courage.

The Qualities We Have Do Not Make Us So Ridiculous As Those Which We Affect To Have. [fr., On N'est Jamais Si Ridicule Par Les Qualites Que L'on A Que Par Celles Que L'on Affecte D'avoir.]
