We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.

We all have enough strength to endure the misfortunes of others.

Το know how to profit by good advice, requires nearly as much ability as to know how to act for one'self.

If we did not have pride, we would not complain of it in others.

All men are equally proud. The only difference is that not all take the same methods of showing it.

We feel good and ill only in proportion to our self-love.

Wit sometimes enables us to act rudely with impunity.
