Some Follies Are Caught, Like Contagious Diseases.

Love Often Leads On To Ambition, But Seldom Does One Return From Ambition To Love.

As Love Increases, Prudence Diminishes.

The Wind Which Snuffs The Candle Fans The Fire.

The Defects Of The Mind, Like Those Of The Face, Grow Worse With Age.

Idleness And Constancy Fix The Mind To What It Finds Easy And Agreeable. This Habit Always Confines And Cramps Up Our Knowledge; And No One Has Ever Taken The Trouble To Stretch And Carry His Understanding As Far As It Could Go.
