For my future I have no concern, and as a true philosopher, I never would have any, for I know not what it may be: as a Christian, on the other hand, faith must believe without discussion, and the stronger it is, the more it keeps silent.

If you have not done things worthy of being written about, at least write things worthy of being read.

I have lived as a philosopher and die as a Christian.

I learned very early that our health is always impaired by some excess either of food or abstinence, and I never had any physician except myself.

The pleasure I gave my lovers was a four fifth of the pleasure I experienced.

one who makes no mistakes makes nothing

I don't conquer, I submit.
