We Should Often Blush At Our Noblest

We Are Inconsolable At Being Deceived By Our Enemies And Being Betrayed By Our Friends, Yet We Are Often Content In Be Being Treated Like That By Our Own Selves.

The Greatest Of All Gifts Is The Power To Estimate Things At Their True Worth

Jealousy Is Not Love, But Self-love.

The World More Often Rewards The Appearances Of Merit Than Merit Itself.

Nothing Ought More To Humiliate Men Who Have Merited Great Praise Than The Care They Still Take To Boast Of Little Things.
