The Praise We Give To New Comers

Gratitude Is Like The Good Faith Of Traders: It Maintains Commerce, And We Often Pay, Not Because It Is Just To Discharge Our Debts, But That We May More Readily Find People To Trust Us.

We Are Always Bored By The Very People By Whom It Is Vital Not To Be Bored.

Wit Sometimes Enables Us To Act Rudely With Impunity.

If We Judge Love By Most Of Its Effects, It Resembles Rather Hatred Than Affection.
