Perseverance has surprising effects
     Person to you whom I am very indifferent about, I mean myself
     Pettish, pouting conduct is a great deal too young
     Petty jury
     Plain notions of right and wrong
     Planted while young, that degree of knowledge now my refuge
     Please all who are worth pleasing; offend none
     Pleased to some degree by showing a desire to please
     Pleased with him, by making them first pleased with themselves
     Pleasing in company is the only way of being pleased in yourself
     Pleasure and business with equal inattention
     Pleasure is necessarily reciprocal
     Pleasure is the rock which most young people split upon
     Pleasures do not commonly last so long as life
     Pocket all your knowledge with your watch
     Polite, but without the troublesome forms and stiffness
     politicians neither love nor hate
     Prefer useful to frivolous conversations
     Prejudices are our mistresses
     Pride remembers it forever
     Pride of being the first of the company
     Prudent reserve
     Public speaking
     Put out your time, but to good interest
     Quarrel with them when they are grown up, for being spoiled
     Quietly cherished error, instead of seeking for truth
     Read my eyes out every day, that I may not hang myself
     Read with caution and distrust
     Real merit of any kind will be discovered
     Real friendship is a slow grower
     Reason ought to direct the whole, but seldom does
     Reason, which always ought to direct mankind, seldom does
     Receive them with great civility, but with great incredulity
     Reciprocally profess wishes which they seldom form
     Recommend (pleasure) to you, like an Epicurean
     Recommends selfconversation to all authors
     Refuge of people who have neither wit nor invention of their own
     Refuse more gracefully than other people could grant
     Repeating
     Represent, but do not pronounce
     Reserve with your friends
     Respect without timidity
     Respectful without meanness, easy without too much familiarity
     Return you the ball ‘a la volee’
     Rich man never borrows
     Richelieu came and shackled the nation
     Rochefoucault, who, I am afraid, paints man very exactly
     Rochefoucault
     Rough corners which mere nature has given to the smoothest
     Ruined their own son by what they called loving him
     Same coolness and unconcern in any and every company
     Scandal:  receiver is always thought, as bad as the thief
     Scarce any flattery is too gross for them to swallow
     Scarcely any body who is absolutely good for nothing
     Scrupled no means to obtain his ends
     Secret, without being dark and mysterious
     Secrets
     See what you see, and
