Fortune Cures Us Of Many

We Are Never Either So Fortunate Or So Misfortunate As We Imagine.

Fortune Makes Our Virtues And Vices Visible, Just As Light Does The Objects Of Sight.

Our Actions Are Like The Terminations Of Verses, Which We Rhyme As We Please.

Envy Is More Irreconcilable Than Hatred.

Narrowness Of Mind Is Often The Cause Of Obstinacy; We Do Not Easily Believe Beyond What We See.
