In the mean time I worship God, laying every wrong action under an interdict which I endeavour to respect, and I loathe the wicked without doing them any injury.

Love is three quarters curiosity.

one who makes no mistakes makes nothing

economy spoils pleasure

I have often met with happiness after some imprudent step which ought to have brought ruin upon me, and although passing a vote of censure upon myself I would thank God for his mercy.

The same principle that forbids me to lie does not allow me to tell the truth.

I know that I have lived because I have felt, and, feeling giving me the knowledge of my existence.
