I Have Lived As A Philosopher And

Nobody Can Deprive Me Of The Fact That I Had A Good Time.

Thence, I Suppose, My Natural Disposition To Make Fresh Acquaintances, And To Break With Them So Readily, Although Always For A Good Reason, And Never Through Mere Fickleness.

I Have Always Loved Truth So Passionately That I Have Often Resorted To Lying As A Way Of Introducing It Into The Minds Which Were Ignorant Of Its Charms.

Man Is A Free Agent; But He Is Not Free If He Does Not Believe It.

Man Is Free, But His Freedom Ceases When He Has No Faith In It; And The Greater Power He Ascribes To Faith, The More He Deprives Himself Of That Power Which God Has Given To Him When He Endowed Him With The Gift Of Reason.
