["The youth of friendship is better than its old age."--
Hazlitt's CHARACTERISTICS, 229.]
431.--Nothing prevents our being unaffected so
much as our desire to seem so.
432.--To praise good actions heartily is in some
measure to take part in them.
433.--The most certain sign of being born with
great qualities is to be born without envy.
["Nemo alienae virtuti invidet qui satis confidet suae."
-Cicero IN MARC ANT.]
434.--When our friends have deceived us we owe
them but indifference to the tokens of their friend-
ship, yet for their misfortunes we always owe them
pity.
435.--Luck and temper rule the world.
436.--It is far easier to know men than to know
man.
437.--We should not judge of a man's merit by his
great abilities, but by the use he makes of them.
438.--There is a certain lively gratitude which not
only releases us from benefits received, but which also,
by making a return to our friends as payment, renders
them indebted to us.
["And understood not that a grateful mind,
By owing owes not, but is at once
Indebted and discharged.
