Perseverance Is Neither Praiseworthy Nor Blameworthy; For

When A Man Is In Love, He Doubts, Very Often, What He Most Firmly Believes.

True Bravery Is Shown By Performing Without Witness What One Might Be Capable Of Doing Before All The World.

Instead Of Considering That The Worst Way To Persuade Or Please Others Is To Try Thus Strongly To Please Ourselves, And That To Listen Well And To Answer Well Are Some Of The Greatest Charms We Can Have In Conversation.

Customary Use Of Artifice Is The Sign Of A Small Mind, And It Almost Always Happens That He Who Uses It To Cover One Spot Uncovers Himself In Another.

It Is Oftener By The Estimation Of Our Own Feelings That We Exaggerate The Good Qualities Of Others Than By Their Merit, And When We Praise Them We Wish To Attract Their Praise.
