Of All The Violent Passions,

That Which Makes The Vanity Of Others Unbearable To Us Is That Which Wounds Our Own.

It Is Worth Nothing To Be Young Without Being Beautiful, Nor To Be Beautiful Without Being Young.

The Desire Which Urges Us To Deserve Praise Strengthens Our Good Qualities, And Praise Given To Wit, Valour, And Beauty, Tends To Increase Them.

What Makes Vanity So Insufferable To Us, Is That It Hurts Our Own.

In Infants, Levity Is A Prettiness; In Men A Shameful Defect; But In Old Age, A Monstrous Folly.
