He Who Endeavors To Please Must Appear

That What Cannot Be Repaired Is Not To Be Regretted.

Plenty Is The Original Cause Of Many Of Our Needs; And Even The Poverty, Which Is So Frequent And Distressful In Civilized Nations, Proceeds Often From That Change Of Manners Which Opulence Has Produced. Nature Makes Us Poor Only When We Want Necessaries; But Custom Gives The Name Of Poverty To The Want Of Superfluities.

Bashfulness May Sometimes Exclude Pleasure, But Seldom Opens Any Avenue To Sorrow Or Remorse.

What Is Written Without Effort Is In General Read Without Pleasure.

In The Motive Lies The Good Or Ill.
