We Speak Little If Not Egged On

There Are Some Good Marriages, But Practically No Delightful Ones.

Luxury And Excessive Refinement Are Sure Forerunners Of The Decadence Of States, Because When All Individuals Seek Their Own Interests They Neglect The Public Weal.

Humility Is The Worst Form Of Conceit.

Those Whom The World Has Delighted To Honor Have Oftener Been Influenced In Their Doings By Ambition And Vanity Than By Patriotism.
