None But Great Men Are Capable Of

There Is Merit Without Rank, But There Is No Rank Without Some Merit.

We Bear, All Of Us, The Misfortunes Of Other People With Heroic Constancy.

A Man Often Thinks He Rules Himself, When All The While He Is Ruled And Managed; And While His Understanding Directs One Design, His Affections Imperceptibly Draw Him Into Another.

It Takes More Strength Of Character To Withstand Good Fortune Than Bad.

Pride Has A Greater Share Than Goodness In The Reproofs We Give Other People For Their Faults; And We Chide Them Not So Much To Make Them Mend Those Faults As To Make Them Believe That We Ourselves Are Without Fault.
