We Should Manage Our Fortune As We

In The Misfortunes Of Our Best Friends We Always Find Something Not Altogether Displeasing To Us.

Weakness Is More Opposed To Virtue Than Is Vice.

The Contempt Of Riches In Philosophers Was Only A Hidden Desire To Avenge Their Merit Upon The Injustice Of Fortune, By Despising The Very Goods Of Which Fortune Had Deprived Them; It Was A Secret To Guard Themselves Against The Degradation Of Poverty, It Was A Back Way By Which To Arrive At That Distinction Which They Could Not Gain By Riches.

It Is Often Laziness And Timidity That Keep Us Within Our Duty While Virtue Gets All The Credit.

Hope And Fear Are Inseparable. There Is No Hope Without Fear, Nor Any Fear Without Hope.
