We may give advice, but not the sense to use it.
The qualities we have, make us so ridiculous as those which we affect.
We may seem great in an employment below our worth, but we very often look little in one that is too big for us.
We forget our faults easily when they are known to ourselves alone.
Whatever pretext we may give for our affections, often it is only interest and vanity which cause them.
Our virtues are often, in reality, no better than vices disguised.
