There Are Men Who Are Happy Without

When We Feel That We Lack Whatever Is Needed To Secure Someone Else's Esteem, We Are Very Close To Hating Him

It Is In Our Own Mind And Not In Exterior Objects That We Perceive Most Things; Fools Know Scarcely Anything Because They Are Empty, And Their Heart Is Narrow; But Great Souls Find In Themselves A Number Of Exterior Things; They Have No Need To Read Or Travel Or To Listen Or To Work To Discover The Highest Truths; They Have Only To Delve Into Themselves And Search, If We May Say So, Their Own Thoughts.

No One Is More Liable To Make Mistakes Than He Who Acts Only On Reflexion.

We Are Less Hurt By The Contempt Of Fools Than By The Lukewarm Approval Of Men Of Intelligence.

Clearness Ornaments Profound Thoughts.
