We Are Eager To Believe That Others

The Desire Of Talking Of Ourselves, And Showing Those Faults We Do Not Mind Having Seen, Makes Up A Good Part Of Our Sincerity.

Everyone Takes Pleasure In Returning Small Obligations, Many People Acknowledge Moderate Ones; But There Are Only A Scarce Few Who Do Not Pay Great Ones With Ingratitude.

Eloquence: Saying The Proper Thing And Stopping.

Fortune Mends More Faults In Us Than Ever Reason Would Be Able To Do.

There Is An Excess Both In Happiness And Misery Above Our Power Of Sensation.
