People who declare that they belong to no party certainly do not belong to ours.
None despise fame more heartily than those who have no possible claim to it.
It is not what we have but what we enjoy that constitutes our abundance.
Our virtues live upon our incomes; our vices consume our capital.
The weak-minded man is the slave of his vices and the dupe of his virtues.
The wisest man may always learn something from the humblest peasant.
