The more we love, the nearer we are to hate.
There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.
There are follies as catching as contagious disorders.
We are never so easily deceived as when we imagine we are deceiving others.
A man does not please long when he has only species of wit.
The desire of talking of ourselves, and showing those faults we do not mind having seen, makes up a good part of our sincerity.
