Our Distrust Of Another Justifies His Deceit.

There Are Certain People Fated To Be Fools; They Not Only Commit Follies By Choice, But Are Even Constrained To Do So By Fortune.

Those That Have Had Great Passions Esteem Themselves For The Rest Of Their Lives Fortunate And Unfortunate In Being Cured Of Them.

The Dullness Of Certain People Is Sometimes A Sufficient Security Against The Attack Of An Artful Man.

To Awaken A Man Who Is Deceived As To His Own Merit Is To Do Him As Bad A Turn As That Done To The Athenian Madman Who Was Happy In Believing That All The Ships Touching At The Port Belonged To Him.

It Is Easier To Deceive Yourself, And To Do So Unperceived, Than To Deceive Another.
