Religion is a disease, but it is a noble disease.
Man, like a light in the night, is kindled and put out.
To me one man is worth ten thousand if he is first-rate.
Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Most people do not take heed of the things they encounter, nor do they grasp them even when they have learned about them, although they suppose they do.
Presumption must be quenched even more than a fire.
