Humility Is The Altar Upon

There Are Fine Things That Are More Brilliant When They Are Unfinished Than When Finished Too Much.

We Are Much Mistaken If We Think That Men Are Always Brave From A Principle Of Valor, Or Women Chaste From A Principle Of Modesty.

Pride Does Not Wish To Owe And Vanity Does Not Wish To Pay.

The Passions Do Very Often Give Birth To Others Of A Nature Most Contrary To Their Own. Thus Avarice Sometimes Brings Forth Prodigality, And Prodigality Avarice; A Man's Resolution Is Very Often The Effect Of Levity, And His Boldness That Of Cowardice And Fear.

Our Enemies' Opinion Of Us Comes Closer To The Truth Than Our Own.
