Fortune never appears so blind as to those to whom she does no good.
Our minds are lazier than our bodies.
There are heroes of wickedness, as there are of goodness.
It is easy to be wise on behalf of others than to be so for ourselves.
The boldest stroke and best act of friendship is not to disclose our own failings to a friend, but to show him his own.
Gratitude, in most men, is only a strong and secret hope of greater favors.
