The Qualities We Have Do Not Make

Jealousy Is Nothing More Than A Fear Of Abandonment

Raillery Is More Insupportable Than Wrong; Because We Have A Right To Resent Injuries, But Are Ridiculous In Being Angry At A Jest.

There Are Few Good Women Who Do Not Tire Of Their Role.

Pity Is A Sense Of Our Own Misfortunes In Those Of Another Man; It Is A Sort Of Foresight Of The Disasters Which May Befall Ourselves.

That Which Occasions So Many Mistakes In The Computations Of Men, When They Expect Return For Favors, Is That The Giver's Pride And The Receiver's Cannot Agree Upon The Value Of The Kindness Done.
