Our Opinion Of Others Is Not So

Courage Is Adversity's Lamp.

Simple Truths Are A Relief From Grand Speculations.

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.

Men Are Not To Be Judged By What They Do Not Know, But By What They Know, And By The Manner In Which They Know It.

I Do Not Approve The Maxim Which Desires A Man To Know A Little Of Everything. Superficial Knowledge, Knowledge Without Principles, Is Almost Always Useless And Sometimes Harmful Knowledge.
