Nothing Endures Except Truth.

As Soon As An Opinion Becomes Common It Is Sufficient Reason For Men To Abandon It And To Uphold The Opposite Opinion Until That In Its Turn Grows Old, And They Require To Distinguish Themselves By Other Things. Thus If They Attain Their Goal In Some Art Or Science, We Must Expect Them Soon To Cast It Aside To Acquire Some Fresh Fame, And This Is Partly The Reason Why The Most Splendid Ages Degenerate So Quickly, And, Scarcely Emerged From Barbarism, Plunge Into It Again.

It Is Easier To Say New Things Than To Reconcile Those Which Have Already Been Said.

A Liar Is A Man Who Does Now Know How To Deceive, A Flatterer One Who Only Deceives Fools: He Who Knows How To Make Skilful Use Of The Truth, And Understands Its Eloquence, Can Alone Pride Himself In Cleverness.

We Don't Have Enough Time To Premeditate Our Actions.

Mediocre Men Sometimes Fear Great Office, And When They Do Not Aim At It, Or When They Refuse It, All That Is To Be Concluded Is That They Are Aware Of Their Mediocrity.
