No Accidents Are So Unlucky [bad] But

Those Whom The World Has Delighted To Honor Have Oftener Been Influenced In Their Doings By Ambition And Vanity Than By Patriotism.

Sometimes There Are Accidents In Our Lives The Skillful Extrication From Which Demands A Little Folly.

Nothing Is So Contagious As Example.

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.

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