Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate workings of the human heart, exploring the hidden motives and often self-serving nature that lie beneath our actions. Drawing upon the wisdom of ancient thinkers like Tacitus, the author presents a series of insightful maxims that challenge our assum…ptions about virtue, friendship, and even love. Through witty and thought-provoking observations, the book dissects the complexities of human behavior, revealing the subtle influence of ambition, envy, and self-interest on our choices. While acknowledging the existence of genuine goodness, the author argues that it is far rarer than we might imagine, often masked by self-deception or disguised ambition. This collection of maxims, admired by the likes of Voltaire and Lord Chesterfield, invites us to confront the uncomfortable truths about ourselves and the world around us. By understanding the true nature of our motivations, we can navigate the complexities of human relationships with greater clarity and avoid the pitfalls of self-delusion. Ultimately, this book serves as a timeless guide to understanding the human condition, reminding us that true wisdom lies in recognizing the often hidden forces that drive our actions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
