The Wise Become As The Unwise In

Politeness Is Not Always A Sign Of Wisdom; But The Want Of It Always Leaves Room For A Suspicion Of Folly, If Folly And Imprudence Are The Same.

We Listen To Those Whom We Know To Be Of The Same Opinion As Ourselves, And We Call Them Wise For Being Of It; But We Avoid Such As Differ From Us.

Ambition Does Not See The Earth She Treads On: The Rock And The Herbage Are Of One Substance To Her.

There Are Proud Men Of So Much Delicacy That It Almost Conceals Their Pride, And Perfectly Excuses It.

The Writing Of The Wise Are The Only Riches Our Posterity Cannot Squander.
