We Are Never So Generous As When

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

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

Those Who Are Themselves Incapable Of Great Crimes Are Ever Backward To Suspect Others.

The Breeding We Give Young People Is Ordinarily But An Additional Self-love, By Which We Make Them Have A Better Opinion Of Themselves.

The Greater Part Of Mankind Judge Of Men Only By Their Fashionableness Or Their Fortune.
