100.--Gallantry of mind is saying the most empty things in an agreeable manner. 101.--Ideas often flash across our minds more complete than we could make them after much labour. 102.--The head is ever the dupe of the heart. [A feeble imitation of that great thought "All folly comes from the heart."--Aime Martin. But Bonhome, in his L'art De Penser, says "Plusieurs diraient en periode quarre que quelques reflexions que fasse l'esprit et quelques resolutions qu'il prenne pour corriger ses travers le premier sentiment du coeur renverse tous ses projets. Mais il n'appartient qu'a M. de la Rochefoucauld de dire tout en un mot que l'esprit est toujours la dupe du coeur."] 103.--Those who know their minds do not necessarily know their hearts. 104.--Men and things have each their proper perspective; to judge rightly of some it is necessary to see them near, of others we can never judge rightly but at a distance. 105.--A man for whom accident discovers sense, is not a rational being. A man only is so who understands, who distinguishes, who tests it. 106.--To understand matters rightly we should understand their details, and as that knowledge is almost infinite, our knowledge is always superficial and imperfect. 107.--One kind of flirtation is to boast we never flirt. 108.--The head cannot long play the part of the heart. 109.--Youth changes its tastes by the warmth of its blood, age retains its tastes by habit. 110.--Nothing is given so profusely as advice. 111.--The more we love a woman the more prone we are to hate her. 112.--The blemishes of the mind, like those of the face, increase by age. 113.--There may be good but there are no pleasant marriages. 114.--We are inconsolable at being deceived by our enemies and betrayed by our friends, yet still we are often content to be thus served by ourselves. 115.--It is as easy unwittingly to deceive oneself as to deceive others. 116.--Nothing is less sincere than the way of asking and giving advice. The person asking seems to pay deference to the opinion of his friend, while thinking in reality of making his friend approve his opinion and be responsible for his conduct. The person giving the advice returns the confidence placed in him by eager and disinterested zeal, in doing which he is usually guided only by his own interest or reputation.
