Sayfa 89 - Grief, for the calamity of another, is PITY ; and ariseth from the imagination that the like calamity may befall himself; and therefore is called also COMPASSION, and in the phrase of this present time a FELLOW.-FEELING : and therefore for calamity arriving from great wickedness, the best men have the least pity ; and for the same calamity those hate pity, that think themselves least obnoxious to the same.
Sayfa 37 - ... patiens, si mali forent, usque ad culpam ignarus. Sed claritas natalium et metus temporum obtentui, ut, quod segnitia erat, sapientia vocaretur. Dum vigebat aetas, militari laude apud Germanias floruit. Pro console Africam moderate, iam senior citeriorem Hispaniam pari iustitia continuit, maior privato visus, dum privatus fuit, et omnium consensu capax imperii, nisi imperasset.
Sayfa 49 - As Rochefoucault his maxims drew From nature, I believe them true: They argue no corrupted mind In him; the fault is in mankind.
Sayfa 34 - Were we to take as much pains to be what we ought, as we do to disguise what we are, we might appear like ourselves, without being at the trouble of any disguise at all.
Sayfa 131 - Orpheus be torn to pieces by the whole sex ; on the contrary, a man who thinks of living in the great world must be gallant, polite, and attentive to please the women. They have from the weakness of men more or less influence in all courts ; they absolutely stamp every man's character in the beau monde and make it either current, or cry it down and stop it in payments.
Sayfa 56 - ... twas a taught trick to gain credit of the world for more sense and knowledge than a man was worth...
Sayfa 130 - ... pride of their youth and beauty. Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties, as to your behaviour : but take great care not to drop one word of their experience ; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.
Sayfa 131 - No flattery is either too high or too low for them. They will greedily swallow the highest, and gratefully accept of the lowest; and you may safely flatter any woman from her understanding down to the exquisite taste of her fan.
Sayfa 36 - Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the house, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style. Take it for granted, that by far the greatest part of mankind do neither analyse nor search to the bottom ; they are incapable of penetrating deeper than the surface.
Sayfa 32 - He who imagines he can do without the world deceives himself much; but he who fancies the world cannot do without him is still more mistaken.— LA ROCHEFOUCAULD.
