Experience has taught me this, that we undo ourselves by impatience. Misfortunes have their life and their limits, their sickness and their health.

We have power over nothing except our will.

Marriage, a market which has nothing free but the entrance.

Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy, inquiry the progress, ignorance the end.

There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees.

God sends the cold according to the coat.

What fear has once made me will, I am bound still to will when without fear.
