Nothing weighs on us so heavily as a secret.
The fastidious are unfortunate; nothing satisfies them.
It is good to be charitable; but to whom? That is the point. As to the ungrateful, there is not one who does not at last die miserable.
Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.
Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.
The good, we do it; the evil, that is fortune; man is always right, and destiny always wrong.
