My home...It is my retreat and resting place from wars, I try to keep this corner as a haven against the tempest outside, as I do another corner in my soul.

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.

Our own peculiar human condition is that we are as fit to be laughed at as able to laugh.

Any time and any place can be used to study: his room, a garden, is table, his bed; when alone or in company; morning and evening. His chief study will be Philosophy, that Former of good judgement and character who is privileged to be concerned with everything.

The truth of these days is not that which really is, but what every man persuades another man to believe.

The most evident token and apparent sign of true wisdom is a constant and unconstrained rejoicing.

Desire and hope will push us on toward the future.
