We Have Not Enough Strength To Follow

What We Call Generosity Is For The Most Part Only The Vanity Of Giving; And We Exercise It Because We Are More Fond Of That Vanity Than Of The Thing We Give.

In The Intercourse Of Life, We Please More By Our Faults Than By Our Good Qualities.

Happiness Is In The Taste, And Not In The Things.

When Our Vices Desert Us, We Flatter Ourselves That We Are Deserting Our Vices.

We May Say Of Agreeableness, As Distinct From Beauty, That It Consists In A Symmetry Of Which We Know Not The Rules, And A Secret Conformity Of The Features To Each Other, As Also To The Air And Complexion Of The Person.
