Aphorism #175 A Solid Man.

One who is finds no satisfaction in those that are not. Â’Tis a pitiable eminence that is not well founded. Not all are men that seem to be so. Some are sources of deceit; impregnated by chimeras they give birth to impositions. Others are like them so far that they take more pleasure in a lie, because it promises much, than in the truth, because it performs little. But in the end these caprices come to a bad end, for they have no solid foundation. Only Truth can give true reputation: only reality can be of real profit. One deceit needs many others, and so the whole house is built in the air and must soon come to the ground. Unfounded things never reach old age. They promise too much to be much trusted, just as that cannot be true which proves too much.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtO...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtO...?d=qj6IDK7rITs
