He who, silent, loves to be with us - he who loves us in our silence - has touched one of the keys that ravish hearts.

He who freely praises what he means to purchase, and he who enumerates the faults of what he means to sell, may set up a partnership with honesty.

You may depend upon it that he is a good man whose intimate friends are all good, and whose enemies are decidedly bad.

Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once.

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.

Wisdom is the repose of the mind.

Not every one who has the gift of speech understands the value of silence.
