To Establish Oneself In The World, One

Some Weak People Are So Sensible Of Their Weakness As To Be Able To Make A Good Use Of It.

We Sometimes Think That We Hate Flattery, But We Only Hate The Manner In Which It Is Done. [fr., On Croit Quelquefoir Hair La Flatterie; Maid On Ne Hait Que A Maniere De Flatter.]

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

If A Man Doesn't Find Ease In Himself, 'tis In Vain To Seek It Elsewhere.

When Our Hatred Is Violent, It Sinks Us Even Beneath Those We Hate.
