We Do Not Despise All

You Are Never So Easily Fooled As When Trying To Fool Someone Else.

There Is A Kind Of Elevation Which Does Not Depend On Fortune; It Is A Certain Air Which Distinguishes Us, And Seems To Destine Us For Great Things; It Is A Price Which We Imperceptibly Set Upon Ourselves.

Only The Great Can Afford To Have Great Defects.

The Constancy Of Sages Is Nothing But The Art Of Locking Up Their Agitation In Their Hearts.

The Violence We Do To Ourselves In Order To Remain Faithful To The One We Love Is Hardly Better Than An Act Of Infidelity.
