A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else.
One of man's greatest failings is that he looks almost always for an excuse, in the misfortune that befalls him through his own fault, before looking for a remedy-which means he often finds the remedy too late.
What is necessary is never a risk.
Nothing sways the stupid more than arguments they can't understand.
A man who never trusts himself never trusts anyone.
In a major matter no details are small.
