Fie on the eloquence that leaves us craving itself, not things!

It would be better to have no laws at all, than to have too many.

I listen with attention to the judgment of all men; but so far as I can remember, I have followed none but my own.

Men are most apt to believe what they least understand.

But sure there is need of other remedies than dreaming, a weak contention of art against nature.

Those who have compared our life to a dream were right... we were sleeping wake, and waking sleep.

The most regular and most perfect soul in the world has but too much to do to keep itself upright from being overthrown by its own weakness.
