"Men sometimes feel injured by praise, because it assigns a limit to their merit. Few people are humble enough to be content to be estimated at their true worth."
"We detect in ourselves what others conceal from us, and recognize in others what we conceal in ourselves."
"We find fault with the unfortunate in order to excuse ourselves from commiserating with them."
"A generous heart suffers for the misfortunes of others as much as though it had caused them."
