Treason is greatest where trust is greatest. - [Trust] Trust reposed in noble natures obliges them the more. - [Fidelity] Truth is the object of our understanding, as good is of our will; and the understanding can no more be delighted with a lie than the will can choose an apparent evil. - [Truth] Uncertain whose the narrowest span,--the clown unread, or half-read gentleman. - [Reading] Unhappy sex, whose beauty is your snare. - [Charm] Virtue in distress, and vice in triumph make atheists of mankind. - [Virtue] Virtue is her own reward. - [Proverbs] Virtue without success is a fair picture shown by an ill light; but lucky men are favorites of heaven; all own the chief, when fortune owns the cause. - [Luck] Virtue, the more it is exposed, like purest linen, laid in open air, will bleach the more, and whiten to the view. - [Virtue] Want is a bitter and a hateful good, Because its virtues are not understood; Yet many things, impossible to thought, Have been by need to full perfection brought.
