Our virtues are most often but our vices disguise

The violence done us by others is often less painful than that which we do to ourselves

Our virtues are most often but our vices disguised

Virtue would not go to such lengths if vanity did not keep her company

Few things are impracticable in themselves and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail of success

However much we may distrust mien's sincerity, we always believe they speak to us more sincerely than to others

A man who is always satisfied with himself is seldom so with others, and others as little pleased with him

Conceit causes more conversation than wit.

The pleasure of love is in loving we are happier in the passion we feel than in the passion we inspire

All the passions make us commit faults love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones
