Lord Chesterfield, Letters to his Son.

ON ONE WHO SPOKE LITTLE.

HARDLY ever ope my lips," one cries:
"Simonides, what think you of my rule?"
"If you're a fool, I think you're very wise;
If you are wise, I think you are a fool."

R. Garnett, Idylls and Epigrams.

OUS aimons mieux voir ceux à qui nous faisons du bien que ceux qui nous en font.

La Rochefoucauld, Réflexions.
