The blindness of men is the most dangerous effect of their pride; it seems to nourish and augment it; it deprives them of knowledge of remedies which can solace their miseries and can cure their faults.
There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.
We can never be certain of our courage until we have faced danger.
Simplicity is a delicate imposition.
The height of cleverness is to be able to conceal it.
In love deceit almost always outstrips distrust.
