"Reason is the slave of passion"
"a hundred suspicions don't make a proof."
"If there's a hundredth part of a false note in speaking the truth, it leads to a discord, and that leads to trouble, But if all to the last note, is false in flattery, it is just as agreeable, and is heard not without satisfaction. It may be a coarse, satisfaction, but still a satisfaction, And however coarse the flattery, at least half will be sure to seem true. That's so so for all stages of development and classes of society."
