It is sometimes a point of as much cleverness to know to make good use of advice from others as to be able give good advice to oneself.

I always say to myself, what is the most important thing we can think about at this extraordinary moment.

Our minds are lazier than our bodies.

We rarely ever perceive others as being sensible, except for those who agree with us.

Most of our faults are more pardonable than the means we use to conceal them.

The height of ability in the least able consists in knowing how to submit to the good leadership of others.

Nothing prevents one from appearing natural as the desire to appear natural.
