“The truest way to be deceived is to think oneself more knowing than others.”

“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.”

“Few people have the wisdom to prefer the criticism that would do them good, to the praise that deceives them.”

“We often forgive those who bore us, but we do not forgive those we bore”.”
