The affectation of sanctity is a blotch on the face of piety.
Each particle of matter is an immensity, each leaf a world, each insect an inexplicable compendium.
As the interest of man, so his God - as his God, so he.
Be certain that he who has betrayed thee once will betray thee again.
His calumny is not only the greatest benefit a rogue can confer on us, but the only service he will perform for nothing.
The more honesty a man has, the less he affects the air of a saint.
