Usually We Praise Only To Be Praised.

Almost Everyone Takes Pleasure In Repaying Trifling Obligations, Very Many Feel Gratitude For Those That Are Moderate; But There Is Scarcely Anyone Who Is Not Ungrateful For Those That Are Weighty.

In The Intercourse Of Life, We Please More By Our Faults Than By Our Good Qualities.

There Are Very Few People Who Are Not Ashamed Of Having Been In Love When They No Longer Love Each Other.

The Measure Of Great Men Should Always Be Measured By The Means They Have Used To Acquire It.

Not All Who Discharge Their Debts Of Gratitude Should Flatter Themselves That They Are Grateful.
