We frequently are troublesome to others, when we think it impossible for us ever to be so.

It is more often from pride than from ignorance that we are so obstinately opposed to current opinions; we find the first places taken, and we do not want to be the last.

The trust that we put in ourselves makes us feel trust in others.

Renewed friendships require more care than those that have never been broken.

Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.

Self-love is the greatest of all flatterers.

No man is clever enough to know all the evil he does.
