The height of cleverness is to be able to conceal it.
There are certain people fated to be fools; they not only commit follies by choice, but are even constrained to do so by fortune.
We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.
We pardon as long as we love.
He who lives without folly isn't so wise as he thinks.
He is not to pass for a man of reason who stumbles upon reason by chance but he who knows it and can judge it and has a true taste for it.
