We are never so generous as when giving advice.

We are very far from always knowing our own wishes.

Truth has scarce done so much good in the world as the false appearances of it have done hurt.

There is at least as much eloquence in the voice, eyes, and air of a speaker as in his choice of words.

Some reproaches praise; some praises reproach.

He is a truly virtuous man who wishes always to be open to the observation of honest men.

We do not like to praise, and seldom praise anyone without self-interest.
