That which makes the vanity of others unbearable to us is that which wounds our own.
Great men should not have great faults.
Nothing is so contagious as example; and we never do any great good or evil which does not produce its like.
The world is full of pots jeering at kettles.
It is safer to do most men harm than to do them too much good.
We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.
