Death is Nature's expert advice to get plenty of Life.

We don't get to know people when they come to us; we must go to them to find out what they are like.

Everything we do has a result. But that which is right and prudent does not always lead to good, nor the contrary to what is bad.

Patriotism corrupts history.

Let us live in as small a circle as we will, we are either debtors or creditors before we have had time to look around.

Our hands we open of our own free will, and the good flies, which we can never recall.

The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.
