It Is Difficult To Esteem

Ignorance Is Not Lack Of Intelligence, Nor Knowledge A Proof Of Genius.

It Is In Our Own Mind And Not In Exterior Objects That We Perceive Most Things; Fools Know Scarcely Anything Because They Are Empty, And Their Heart Is Narrow; But Great Souls Find In Themselves A Number Of Exterior Things; They Have No Need To Read Or Travel Or To Listen Or To Work To Discover The Highest Truths; They Have Only To Delve Into Themselves And Search, If We May Say So, Their Own Thoughts.

The Conscience Of The Dying Belies Their Life.

The Young Suffer Less From Their Own Errors Than From The Cautiousness Of The Old.

Servitude Debases Men To The Point Where They End Up Liking It.
