What Is Perfectly True Is Perfectly Witty.

High Fortune Makes Both Our Virtues And Vices Stand Out As Objects That Are Brought Clearly To View By The Light.

No One Thinks Fortune So Blind As Those She Has Been Least Kind To.

Praise Is A More Ingenious, Concealed, And Subtle Kind Of Flattery, That Satisfies Both The Giver And The Receiver, Though By Verydifferent Ways. The One Accepts It As A Reward Due To His Merit; The Other Gives It That He May Be Looked Upon As A Just And Discerning Person.

True Bravery Means Doing Alone That Which One Could Do If All The World Were By.
