A trifle consoles us, for a trifle distresses us.

A mere trifle consoles us for a mere trifle distresses us.

Little things console us because little things afflict us

It is not only old and early impressions that deceive us; the charms of novelty have the same power

We implore the mercy of God, not that He may leave us at peace in our vices, but that He may deliver us from them

We trifle with, make sport of, and despise those who are attached to us, and follow those that fly from us.
