Virtue is the habit of acting according to wisdom.

He who hasn't tasted bitter things hasn't earned sweet things.

Philosophy consists mostly of kicking up a lot of dust and then complaining that you can't see anything.

Take what you need, do what you should, you will get what you want.

The present is big with the future, the future might be read in the past, the distant is expressed in the near.

Every mind has a horizon in respect to its present intellectual capacity but not in respect to its future intellectual capacity.

These principles have given me a way of explaining naturally the union or rather the mutual agreement [conformité] of the soul and the organic body. The soul follows its own laws, and the body likewise follows its own laws; and they agree with each other in virtue of the pre-established harmony between all substances, since they are all representations of one and the same universe.
