History Teaches That A Race Of People

Anyone Who Has Looked Deeply Into The World May Guess How Much Wisdom Lies In The Superficiality Of Men. The Instinct That Preserves Them Teaches Them To Be Flighty Light, And False.

The Rising And Falling Of The Scales Of Pride And Humility Sustain The Brooding Mind As Well As The Alternations Of Desire And Peace Of The Soul.

When We Dream About Those Who Are Long Since Forgotten Or Dead, It Is A Sign That We Have Undergone A Radical Transformation And That The Ground On Which We Live Has Been Completely Dug Up: Then The Dead Rise Up, And Our Antiquity Becomes Modernity.

We Are Praised Or Blamed, As The One Or The Other May Be Expedient, For Displaying To Advantage Our Power Of Discernment.

The Coward Does Not Know What It Means To Be Alone: An Enemy Is Always Standing Behind His Chair.
