To Kiss : An Attempt To Absorb

In The Mean Time I Worship God, Laying Every Wrong Action Under An Interdict Which I Endeavour To Respect, And I Loathe The Wicked Without Doing Them Any Injury.

To Lead A Blameless Life You Must Curb Your Passions , And Whatever Misfortune May Befall You Cannot Be Ascribed By Anyone To Want Of Good Luck, Or Attributed To Fate; These Words Are Devoid Of Sense, And All Fault Will Rightly Fall On Your Own Head.

If I Had Married A Woman Intelligent Enough To Guide Me, To Rule Me Without My Feeling That I Was Ruled, I Should Have Taken Good Care Of My Money, I Should Have Had Children, And I Should Not Be, As Now I Am, Alone In The World And Possessing Nothing.

Hope Is Nothing But A Deceitful Flatterer Accepted By Reason Only Because It Is Often In Need Of Palliatives.

For My Future I Have No Concern, And As A True Philosopher, I Never Would Have Any, For I Know Not What It May Be: As A Christian, On The Other Hand, Faith Must Believe Without Discussion, And The Stronger It Is, The More It Keeps Silent.
