We can be more clever than one, but not more clever than all.
The intellect is always fooled by the heart.
We only acknowledge small faults in order to make it appear that we are free from great ones.
Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation. [However disappointment can always be removed if we remember it could have turned out worse.]
Politeness of the mind is to have delicate thoughts
Vanity, shame, and above all disposition, often make men brave and women chaste.
