because I pleased them
     Thin veil of Modesty drawn before Vanity
     Think to atone by zeal for their want of merit and importance
     Think yourself less well than you are, in order to be quite so
     Thinks himself much worse than he is
     Thoroughly, not superficially
     Those who remarkably affect any one virtue
     Those whom you can make like themselves better
     Three passions that often put honesty to most severe trials
     Timidity and diffidence
     To be heard with success, you must be heard with pleasure
     To be pleased one must please
     To govern mankind, one must not overrate them
     To seem to have forgotten what one remembers
     To know people’s real sentiments, I trust much more to my eyes
     To great caution, you can join seeming frankness and openness
     Too like, and too exact a picture of human nature
     Trifle only with triflers; and be serious only with the serious
     Trifles that concern you are not trifles to me
     Trifling parts, with their little jargon
     Trite jokes and loud laughter reduce him to a buffoon
     Truth, but not the whole truth, must be the invariable principle
     Truth leaves no room for compliments
     Unaffected silence upon that subject is the only true medium
     Unguarded frankness
     Unintelligible to his readers, and sometimes to himself
     Unopened, because one title in twenty has been omitted
     Unwilling and forced; it will never please
     Use palliatives when you contradict
     Useful sometimes to see the things which one ought to avoid
     Value of moments, when cast up, is immense
     Vanity, interest, and absurdity, always display
     Vanity, that source of many of our follies
     Warm and young thanks, not old and cold ones
     Waterdrinkers can write nothing good
     We love to be pleased better than to be informed
     We have many of those useful prejudices in this country
     We shall be feared, if we do not show that we fear
     Well dressed, not finely dressed
     What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you
     What displeases or pleases you in others
     What you feel pleases you in them
     What have I done today? 
     What is impossible, and what is only difficult
     Whatever pleases you most in others
     Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well
     Whatever one must do, one should do ‘de bonne grace’
     Whatever real merit you have, other people will discover
     When well dressed for the day think no more of it afterward
     Where one would gain people, remember that nothing is little
     Who takes warning by the fate of others? 
     Wife, very often heard indeed, but seldom minded
     Will not so much as hint at our follies
     Will pay very dear for the quarrels and ambition of a few
