Jealousy is nothing more than a fear of abandonment
Hatred is stronger than friendship.
Death, like the sun, cannot be looked at steadily.
That which makes the vanity of others unbearable to us is that which wounds our own.
Self-love makes our friends appear more or less deserving in proportion to the delight we take in them, and the measures by whichwe judge of their worth depend upon the manner of their conversing with us.
Fortune cures us of many faults that reason could not.
