The mind is always the patsy of the heart.
From Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.
Those who occupy their minds with small matters, generally become incapable of greatness.
We all have enough strength to endure the misfortunes of others.
Timidity is a fault for which it is dangerous to reprove persons whom we wish to correct of it.
In all professions each affects a look and an exterior to appear what he wishes the world to believe that he is. Thus we may say that the whole world is made up of appearances.
It is easier to appear worthy of a position one does not hold, than of the office which one fills.
Taste may change, but inclination never.
We do not despise all those who have vices, but we do despise those that have no virtue.
As it is the characteristic of great wits to say much in few words, so small wits seem to have the gift of speaking much and saying nothing.
