He who has given satisfaction to the best of his time has lived for ages. _Schiller._ 157. I never yet found pride in a noble nature nor humility in an unworthy mind. _Feltham._ 158. Worldly fame is but a breath of wind, that blows now this way, now that, and changes name as it changes sides. _Dante._ 159. True modesty and true pride are much the same thing. Both consist in setting a just value on ourselves—neither more nor less. _Hazlitt._ 160. Never does a man portray his own character more vividly than in his manner of portraying another. _Richter._ 161. A foolish husband fears his wife; a prudent wife obeys her husband. _Chinese._ 162. He who devises evil for another falls at last into his own pit, and the most cunning finds himself caught by what he had prepared for another. But virtue without guile, erect like the lofty palm, rises with greater vigour when it is oppressed. _Metastasio._ 163. Laughing is peculiar to man, but all men do not laugh for the same reason. There is the attic salt which springs from the charm in the words, from the flash of wit, from the spirited and brilliant sally. There is the low joke which arises from scurrility and idle conceit. _Goldoni._ 164. The woman who is resolved to be respected can make herself be so even amidst an army of soldiers. _Cervantes._ 165. Petty ambition would seem to be a mean craving after distinction. _Theophrastus._ 166. It is an old observation that wise men grow usually wiser as they grow older, and fools more foolish. _Wieland._ 167. Use law and physic only for necessity. They that use them otherwise abuse themselves into weak bodies and light purses. They are good remedies, bad businesses, and worse recreations. _Quarles._ 168. In some dispositions there is such an envious kind of pride that they cannot endure that any but themselves should be set forth as excellent; so that when they hear one justly praised they will either openly detract from his virtues; or, if those virtues be, like a clear and shining light, eminent and distinguished, so that he cannot be safely traduced by the tongue, they will then raise a suspicion against him by a mysterious silence, as if there were something remaining to be told which overclouded even his brightest glory.
