"No vices are so incurable as those which men are apt to glory in" — Joseph Addison

The mosquito knows full well that he is small, he is a beast of prey

We grow gray in our spirit long before we grow gray in our hair.

To be sick is to enjoy monarchical prerogatives

Credulity is the man's weakness, but the child's strength

Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without a vision is a nightmare.
