Flattery Is A Counterfeit Money

Virtue Is The Habit Of Acting According To Wisdom. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, "felicity", Leibniz: Political Writings Virtue Is Harder To Be Got Than Knowledge Of The World; And, If Lost In A Young Man, Is Seldom Recovered. John Locke, Some Thoughts Concerning Education However Wicked Men May Be, They Do Not Dare Openly To Appear The Enemies Of Virtue, And When They Desire To Persecute Her They Either Pretend To Believe Her False Or Attribute Crimes To Her.

Hope, Deceiving As It Is, Serves At Least To Lead Us To The End Of Our Lives By An Agreeable Route.

If One Judges Love By The Majority Of Its Effects, It Is More Like Hatred Than Like Friendship.

Humility Is Often Only The Putting On Of A Submissiveness By Which Men Hope To Bring Other People To Submit To Them; It Is A Morecalculated Sort Of Pride, Which Debases Itself With A Design Of Being Exalted; And Though This Vice Transform Itself Into A Thousand Several Shapes, Yet The Disguise Is Never More Effectual Nor More Capable Of Deceiving The World Than When Concealed Under A Form Of Humility.

It Is Great Folly To Wish To Be Wise All Alone.
