Truth is the torch that gleams through the fog without dispelling it.

What makes men happy is liking what they have to do. This is a principle on which society is not founded

To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves: such a prohibition ought to fill them with disdain.

There are men whom a happy disposition, a strong desire of glory and esteem, inspire with the same love for justice and virtue which men in general have for riches and honors. But the number of these men is so small that I only mention them in honor of humanity.

Truth is the torch that gleams through the fog without dispelling it.

Truth is a torch which gleams in the fog but does not dispel it.

Education made us what we are.
