Our Own Distrust Gives A Fair Pretence

The Trust That We Put In Ourselves Makes Us Feel Trust In Others.

Moderation Is An Ostentatious Proof Of Our Strength Of Character.

Moderation Is A Fear Of Falling Into That Envy And Contempt Which Those Who Grow Giddy With Their Good Fortune Quite Justly Draw Upon Themselves. It Is A Vain Boasting Of The Greatness Of Our Mind.

Those Great And Glorious Actions That Dazzle Our Eyes With Their Luster Are Represented By Statesmen As The Result Of Great Wisdomand Excellent Design; Whereas, In Truth, They Are Commonly The Effects Of The Humors And Passions.

Happiness Is In The Taste, And Not In The Things.
