I have, alas! Philosophy, Medicine, Jurisprudence too, And to my cost Theology, With ardent labor, studied through. And here I stand, with all my lore, Poor fool, no wiser than before.
When I make a mistake everyone can see it, but not when I lie.
Marriage is the beginning and pinnacle of civilization.
Names are but noise and smoke, Obscuring heavenly light.
Investigate what is, and not what pleases.
He is happy as well as great who needs neither to obey nor to command in order to be something.
