Ridicule Dishonours More Than Dishonour.

Only The Contemptible Fear Contempt.

If We Took As Much Pains To Be What We Ought, As We Do To Deceive Others By Disguising What We Are; We Might Appear As We Are, Without Being At The Trouble Of Any Disguise.

The Mind Cannot Long Play The Heart's Role.

We Exaggerate The Glory Of Some Men In Order To Detract From That Of Others.

However Great The Advantages Given Us By Nature, It Is Not She Alone, But Fortune With Her, Which Makes Heroes.
