Man speak but little when vanity does not induce them to speak. - [Vanity] Man's chief wisdom consists in being sensible of his follies. - [Wisdom] Many young persons believe themselves natural when they are only impolite and coarse. - [Manners] Men are not only prone to forget benefits; they even hate those who have obliged them, and cease to hate those who have injured them. The necessity of revenging an injury, or of recompensing a benefit seems a slavery to which they are unwilling to submit. - [Benevolence] Men are oftener treacherous through weakness than design. - [Treachery] Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice. - [Advice] Men more easily renounce their interests than their tastes. - [Taste] Men would not live long in society, were they not the mutual dupes of each other. - [Disguise] Minds of moderate calibre ordinarily condemn everything which is beyond their range. - [Mind] Misers mistake gold for their good; whereas it is only the means of obtaining it. - [Misers] Moderation cannot have the credit of combatiug and subduing ambition, they are never found together.

We imitate good actions through emulation, and had ones through a malignity in our nature, which shame conceals, and example sets at liberty. - [Example] Nothing rarer than real goodness. - [Goodness] Nothing so much prevents our being natural as the desire of appearing so. - [Manners] Novelty is to love like bloom to fruit; it gives a luster which is easily effaced, but never returns. - [Flirting] Displaying page 6 of 16 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 [6] 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
