It Cannot Be A Vice In Men

It Is A Great Sign Of Mediocrity To Praise Always Moderately.

As Soon As An Opinion Becomes Common It Is Sufficient Reason For Men To Abandon It And To Uphold The Opposite Opinion Until That In Its Turn Grows Old, And They Require To Distinguish Themselves By Other Things. Thus If They Attain Their Goal In Some Art Or Science, We Must Expect Them Soon To Cast It Aside To Acquire Some Fresh Fame, And This Is Partly The Reason Why The Most Splendid Ages Degenerate So Quickly, And, Scarcely Emerged From Barbarism, Plunge Into It Again.

He Who Knows How To Suffer Everything Can Dare Everything.

We Have Neither The Strength Nor The Opportunity To Accomplish All The Good And All The Evil Which We Design.

We Are Dismayed When We Find That Even Disaster Cannot Cure Us Of Our Faults.
