Pride does not wish to owe and vanity does not wish to pay.
Eloquence resides as much in the tone of voice, in the eyes, and in the expression of the face, as in the choice of words.
We say little, when vanity does not make us speak.
Smallness of mind is the cause of stubbornness, and we do not credit readily what is beyond our view.
Opportunity makes us known to others, but more to ourselves.
We are much mistaken if we think that men are always brave from a principle of valor, or women chaste from a principle of modesty.
