The Safest Way Of Not Being Very

We Deceive And Flatter No One By Such Delicate Artificies As We Do Our Own Selves.

Every Nation Criticizes Every Other One - And They Are All Correct.

In Many Cases Hate A Person Is Rooted In The Involuntary Estimate Of Its Virtues.

Authority And Example Lead The World.

No One Knows What Capacities For Doing And Suffering He Has In Himself, Until Something Comes To Rouse Them To Activity: Just As In A Pond Of Still Water, Lying There Like A Mirror, There Is No Sign Of The Roar And Thunder With Which It Can Leap From The Precipice, And Yet Remain What It Is; Or Again, Rise High In The Air As A Fountain. When Water Is As Cold As Ice, You Can Have No Idea Of The Latent Warmth Contained In It.
