"--
Scott, WOODSTOCK.]
321.--We are nearer loving those who hate us, than
those who love us more than we desire.
322.--Those only are despicable who fear to be
despised.
323.--Our wisdom is no less at the mercy of Fortune
than our goods.
324.--There is more self-love than love in jealousy.
325.--We often comfort ourselves by the weakness
of evils, for which reason has not the strength to con-
sole us.
326.--Ridicule dishonours more than dishonour
itself.
["No," says a commentator, "Ridicule may do harm,
but it cannot dishonour; it is vice which confers dis-
honour."]
327.--We own to small faults to persuade others
that we have not great ones.
328.--Envy is more irreconcilable than hatred.
329.--We believe, sometimes, that we hate flattery
--we only dislike the method.
["{But} when I tell him he hates flatter{ers},
He says he does, being then most flattered."
Shakespeare, JULIUS CAESAR{, Act II, Scene I, Decius}.]
330.--We pardon in the degree that we love.
331.
