Don't speak evil of someone if you don't know for certain, and if you do know ask yourself, why am I telling it?

Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once.

The man who loves with his whole heart truth will love still more he who suffers for truth.

True philosophy is that which renders us to ourselves, and all others who surround us, better, and at the same time more content, more patient, more calm and more ready for all decent and pure enjoyment.

Every man has his devilish minutes.

The greatest of characters, no doubt, would be he, who, free of all trifling accidental helps, could see objects through one grand immutable medium, always at hand, and proof against illusion and time, reflecting every object in its true shape and colour through all the fluctuation of things.

All belief that does not make us more happy, more free, more loving, more active, more calm, is, I fear, a mistaken and superstitious belief.
