I love opposition that has convictions.

All religions must be tolerated ... every man must go to heaven in his own way. [Die Religionen müssen alle toleriert werden ... denn hier muss ein jeder nach seiner Fasson selig werden.]

Pleasure is the most real good in this life.

My people and I have come to an agreement which satisfies us both. They are to do what they please, and I am to do what I please.

Be more than you seem to be.

A German singer! I should as soon expect to get pleasure from the neighing of my horse.

The greatest and noblest pleasure which we have in this world is to discover new truths, and the next is to shake off old prejudices.
