The Most Violent Passions Sometimes Leave Us

We Rarely Ever Perceive Others As Being Sensible, Except For Those Who Agree With Us.

It Is With Sincere Affection Or Friendship As With Ghosts And Apparitions,--a Thing That Everybody Talks Of, And Scarce Any Hath Seen.

Sometimes We Lose Friends For Whose Loss Our Regret Is Greater Than Our Grief, And Others For Whom Our Grief Is Greater Than Our Regret.

A Wise Man Thinks It More Advantageous Not To Join The Battle Than To Win.

Cunning And Treachery Are The Offspring Of Incapacity.
