The Art Of Pleasing Is The Art

Courage Is Adversity's Lamp.

Servitude Degrades People To Such A Point That They Come To Like It.

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.

Hope Animates The Wise, And Lures The Presumptuous And Indolent Who Repose Inconsiderately On Her Promises.

If Anyone Accuses Me Of Contradicting Myself, I Shall Reply; I Have Been Wrong Once Or More Often, However I Do Not Aspire To Be Always Wrong.
