The confidant of my vices is my master, though he were my valet.
Man errs as long as he strives.
Presents at once? That's good. He is sure to succeed.
Every man must form himself as a particular being, seeking, however, to attain that general idea of which all mankind are constituents.
While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err.
I think that I am better than the people who are trying to reform me.
