Of All Our Faults, The One That

Our Greediness So Often Troubles Us, Making Us Run After So Many Things At The Same Time, That While We Too Eagerly Look After The Least We Miss The Greatest.

Great Men's Honor Ought Always To Be Measured By The Methods They Made Use Of In Attaining It.

Gratitude Is Like Credit; It Is The Backbone Of Our Relations; Frequently We Pay Our Debts Not Because Equity Demands That We Should, But To Facilitate Future Loans.

If We Have Not Peace Within Ourselves, It Is In Vain To Seek It From Outward Sources.

We Should Desire Very Few Things Passionately If We Did But Perfectly Know The Nature Of The Things We Desire.
