Clearness Marks The Sincerity Of Philosophers.

There Are Men Who Are Happy Without Knowing It.

Superficial Knowledge ... Is Hurtful To Those Who Possess True Genius; For It Necessarily Draws Them Away From Their Main Object, Wastes Their Industry Over Details And Subjects Foreign To Their Needs And Natural Talent, And Lastly Does Not Serve, As They Flatter Themselves, To Prove The Breadth Of Their Mind. In All Ages There Have Been Men Of Very Moderate Intelligence Who Knew Much, And So On The Contrary, Men Of The Highest Intelligence Who Knew Very Little. Ignorance Is Not Lack Of Intelligence, Nor Knowledge A Proof Of Genius.

You Must Maintain Strength Of Body In Order To Preserve Strength Of Mind.

Reason And Emotion Counsel And Supplement Each Other. Whoever Heeds Only The One, And Puts Aside The Other, Recklessly Deprives Himself Of A Portion Of The Aid Granted Us For The Regulation Of Our Conduct.
