Neither The Sun Nor Death Can Be

Self-love Increases Or Diminishes For Us The Good Qualities Of Our Friends, In Proportion To The Satisfaction We Feel With Them; And We Judge Of Their Merit By The Manner In Which They Act Towards Us.

Reason Alone Is Insufficient To Make Us Enthusiastic In Any Matter.

Our Greediness So Often Troubles Us, Making Us Run After So Many Things At The Same Time, That While We Too Eagerly Look After The Least We Miss The Greatest.

Jealousy Is Not Love, But Self-love.

Virtue Would Not Make Such Advances If There Were Not A Little Vanity To Keep It Company.
