One Believes In What One Wants To

As A Vessel Is Known By The Sound, Whether It Be Cracked Or Not; So Men Are Proved, By Their Speeches, Whether They Be Wise Or Foolish.

Nothing Is So Easy As To Deceive Oneself; For What We Wish, We Readily Believe.

The Readiest And Surest Way To Get Rid Of Censure, Is To Correct Ourselves.

It Is Not Possible To Found A Lasting Power Upon Injustice, Perjury, And Treachery.

What We Wish, That We Readily Believe.
