They that are fated to be fools, have one consolation, that they are fated also to be ignorant of it.
It is the folly of weak-minded people, to imagine they are what flattery or conceit represents them; and that it is useless for them to be what they are not, since they seem already to have acquired the reputation of it.
It got very tedious saying the same jokes in the same way with the same attitude.
Last Christmas, I got the worst gift a guy ever gave me. He gave me a lottery ticket... what's the guy even thinking there. Here you go... nothing! Merry Christmas! It's nothing!
We would seldom be deceived by flattery, did our own conceit not promote the delusion.
Were there no fools, there would be no flatterers.
Flattery succeeds best on minds previously occupied by conceit.

The standard of morals is as variable as morals themselves; of which every nation has a different code, and every custom a different reading.
There is a very prevalent tenet with youth, that good company is every thing desirable, and that bad is even better than none.
Love is an artful arrangement of artless pretensions, whereby we labor to appear innocent in what we desire to be most cunning.
In love, first please the eye, then win the heart.
