“Punning is a talent which no man affects to despise but he that is without it.”
“True friendship destroys envy, and true love destroys coquetterie.”
“Those who show pity and are always ready to help during times of trouble are seldom the same ones who rejoice in our joy: when others are happy they have nothing to do, they become superfluous and lose their feeling of superiority, and so they easily show their displeasure.”
More on Arrogance

“My only fault is that I don't realize how great I really am.”
“It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.”
