To withdraw ourselves from the law of the strong, we have found ourselves obliged to submit to justice. Justice or might, we must choose between these two masters.

We are dismayed when we find that even disaster cannot cure us of our faults.

Great men in teaching weak men to reflect have set them on the road to error.

We are almost always guilty of the hate we encounter.

The young suffer less from their own errors than from the cautiousness of the old.

We can console ourselves for not having great talents as we console ourselves for not having great places. We can be above both in our hearts.

Emotions have taught mankind to reason.
