We should treat children as God does us, who makes us happiest when He leaves us under the influence of innocent delusions.

The happiest man is the one who finds happiness at home.

In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

Animals, we have been told, are taught by their organs. Yes, I would add, and so are men, but men have this further advantage that they can also teach their organs in return.

The people rate strength before everything.

To like things like, whatever one may ail; There is certain help.

Whatever you cannot understand, you cannot possess.
