Simplicity Is A Delicate Imposition.

Nothing Is So Contagious As Example; Never Was There Any Considerable Good Or Ill Done That Does Not Produce Its Like. We Imitate Good Actions Through Emulation, And Had Ones Through A Malignity In Our Nature, Which Shame Conceals, And Example Sets At Liberty.

Absence Cools Moderate Passions, And Inflames Violent Ones; Just As The Wind Blows Out Candles, But Kindles Fires.

It Is Not Enough That We Should Succeed, But Our Friends Must Fail As Well.

We Often Forgive Those Who Bore Us, But We Cannot Forgive Those Whom We Bore.

The Moderation Of Fortunate People Comes From The Calm Which Good Fortune Gives To Their Tempers.
