Politeness Of The Mind Is To Have

We Are Nearer Loving Those Who Hate Us Than Those Who Love Us More Than We Wish.

Only The Contemptible Fear Contempt.

Those Who Have The Most Cunning Affect All Their Lives To Condemn Cunning; That They May Make Use Of It On Some Great Occasion, And To Some Great End.

We Feel Good And Ill Only In Proportion To Our Self-love.

The Passions Are The Only Orators That Always Persuade: They Are, As It Were, A Natural Art, The Rules Of Which Are Infallible; And The Simplest Man With Passion Is More Persuasive Than The Most Eloquent Without It.
