Men Give Away Nothing So Liberally As

Idiots And Lunatics See Only Their Own Wit.

There Is No Accident So Unfortunate But Wise Men Will Make Some Advantage Of It, Nor Any So Entirely Fortunate But Fools May Turn It To Their Own Prejudice.

Flattery Is A Base Coin Which Is Current Only Through Our Vanity.

What Renders Other People's Vanity Insufferable Is That It Wounds Our Own.

The Most Clever And Polite Are Content With Only Seeming Attentive While We Perceive In Their Mind And Eyes That At The Very Time They Are Wandering From What Is Said And Desire To Return To What They Want To Say.
