To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Men only shed their ambition with their skin. The past should count as nothing, we should always live at new costs. The man is worth nothing who does not prefer duty to pleasure. To be envious or jealous of a person is to acknowledge his merit. Hope is a passion that evokes the falsest pleasures and the truest pains. We should be inconsolable in dying if we did not age. 29 MAXIMS We ought to be heroically in- different to all that happens — but the indifference must be heroic, not stupid. Happi...ness does not lie in the opinion of others. In the world we must get accus- tomed to seeing the foolish thought clever, the cowards brave, the wicked good. We are but novices in living if we grow angry over this. The sea is the symbol of great souls. However agitated may be its surface its depths are always calm. Nothing which has a term is in- supportable. We are almost always children, but we change our games and our toys. 3o MAXIMS The dead have a sad advantage over the living, for they are the first to forget.
