There is only one duty; that is to be happy.

Distance is a great promoter of admiration.

I have only a small flickering light to guide me in the darkness of a thick forest. Up comes a theologian and blows it out.

There is only one duty; that is to be happy.

Wandering in a vast forest at night, I have only a faint light to guide me. A stranger appears and says to me: 'My friend, you should blow out your candle in order to find your way more clearly.' This stranger is a theologian.

Man was born to live with his fellow human beings. Separate him, isolate him, his character will go bad, a thousand ridiculous affects will invade his heart, extravagant thoughts will germinate in his brain, like thorns in an uncultivated land.

All things must be examined, debated, investigated without exception and without regard for anyone's feelings.
