"
Milton. PARADISE LOST.]
439.--We should earnestly desire but few things if
we clearly knew what we desired.
440.--The cause why the majority of women are so
little given to friendship is, that it is insipid after
having felt love.
["Those who have experienced a great passion neglect
friendship, and those who have united themselves to friend-
ship have nought to do with love."--La Bruyere. DU COEUR.]
441.--As in friendship so in love, we are often hap-
pier from ignorance than from knowledge.
442.--We try to make a virtue of vices we are loth
to correct.
443.--The most violent passions give some respite,
but vanity always disturbs us.
444.--Old fools are more foolish than young fools.
["MALVOLIO. Infirmity{,} that decays the wise{,} doth eve{r}
make the better fool.
CLOWN. God send you, sir, a speedy infirmity{,} for the
better increasing of your folly."--Shakespeare. TWELFTH
NIGHT{, Act I, Scene V}.]
445.--Weakness is more hostile to virtue than vice.
