We can know nothing till after this grave debate. The soul must withdraw, for this is not its hour. Now the knife must divide the flesh, and lay the ravage bare, and do its work completely.

When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut.

It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.

The desire for order is the only order in the world.

No doubt about it: error is the rule, truth is the accident of error.

To drink is a small matter. To be thirsty is everything.

Do not trust your memory; it is a net full of holes; the most beautiful prizes slip through it.
