All Men Are Born Truthful And Die

The Falsest Of All Philosophies Is That Which, Under The Pretext Of Delivering Men From The Embarrassment Of Their Passions, Counsels Idleness And The Abandonment And Neglect Of Themselves.

It Is Unjust To Exact That Men Shall Do Out Of Deference To Our Advice What They Have No Desire To Do For Themselves.

All That Causes One Man To Differ From Another Is A Very Slight Thing. What Is It That Is The Origin Of Beauty Or Ugliness, Health Or Weakness, Ability Or Stupidity? A Slight Difference In The Organs, A Little More Or A Little Less Bile. Yet This More Or Less Is Of Infinite Importance To Men; And When They Think Otherwise They Are Mistaken.

Simple Truths Are A Relief From Grand Speculations.

Our Virtues Are Dearer To Us The More We Have Had To Suffer For Them. It Is The Same With Our Children. All Profound Affection Admits A Sacrifice.
