Wit Sometimes Enables Us To Act Rudely

Being A Blockhead Is Sometimes The Best Security Against Being Cheated By A Man Of Wit.

We Easily Forget Our Faults When No One Knows Them But Ourselves.

The Thing That Makes Our Friendships So Short And Changeable Is That The Qualities And Dispositions Of The Soul Are Very Hard To Know, And Those Of The Understanding And Wit Very Easy.

Our Virtues Are Often, In Reality, No Better Than Vices Disguised.

Our Enemies Come Nearer The Truth In The Opinions They Form Of Us Than We Do In Our Opinion Of Ourselves.
