Vivacity Is The Health Of The Spirit.

Passion Is Born Deaf And Dumb.

Some Troubles, Like A Protested Note Of A Solvent Debtor, Bear Interest.

Envy Lurks At The Bottom Of The Human Heart Like A Viper In Its Hole.

There Are No Little Events With The Heart. It Magnifies Everything; It Places In The Same Scales The Fall Of An Empire Of Fourteen Years And The Dropping Of A Woman's Glove, And Almost Always The Glove Weighs More Than The Empire.

Glory Is A Poison, Good To Be Taken In Small Doses.
