Our Self-love Can Less Bear To Have

No Man Can Love A Second Time The Person Whom He Has Once Truly Ceased To Love.

The Desire Which Urges Us To Deserve Praise Strengthens Our Good Qualities, And Praise Given To Wit, Valour, And Beauty, Tends To Increase Them.

There Are No Accidents So Unlucky But The Prudent May Draw Some Advantage From Them.

Truth Is The Foundation And The Reason Of The Perfection Of Beauty, For Of Whatever Stature A Thing May Be, It Cannot Be Beautiful-and Perfect, Unless It Be Truly What It Should Be, And Possess Truly All That It Should Have.

The Surest Way To Be Deceived Is To Consider Oneself Cleverer Than Others.
