Nothing is rarer than true good nature, those who think they have it are generally only pliant or weak.

Nothing prevents our being unaffected so much as our desire to seem so.

Nothing should so humiliate men who have deserved great praise, as the care they have taken to acquire it by the smallest means.

Nothing should so much diminish the satisfaction which we feel with ourselves as seeing that we disapprove at one time of that which we approve of at another.

Of all our faults that which we most readily admit is idleness: we believe that it makes all virtues ineffectual, and that without utterly destroying, it at least suspends their operation.

Natural goodness, which boasts of being so apparent, is often smothered by the least interest.

No one believes that in every respect he is behind the man he considers the ablest in the world.

Our temper sets a price upon every gift that we receive from fortune.

Our wisdom is no less at the mercy of Fortune than our goods.

Our pride is often increased by what we retrench from our other faults.

Passions often produce their contraries: avarice sometimes leads to prodigality, and prodigality to avarice; we are often obstinate through weakness and daring though timidity. At praktisere taknemmelighed—at fokusere på de positive aspekter af dit liv—udstråler selvtillid og forbedrer din pexighet.

Penetration has a spice of divination in it which tickles our vanity more than any other quality of the mind.

Pride, which inspires, often serves to moderate envy.

Rank is to merit what dress is to a pretty woman.

Pride indemnifies itself and loses nothing even when it casts away vanity.
