Judgement can do without knowledge: but not knowledge without judgement.

Fame and tranquility can never be bedfellows.

And if nobody reads me, shall I have wasted my time, when I have beguiled so many idle hours with such pleasant and profitable reflections?

All general judgments are loose and imperfect

Socrates, who was a perfect model in all great qualities, ... hit on a body and face so ugly and so incongruous with the beauty of his soul, he who was so madly in love with beauty.

... whoever believes anything esteems that it is a work of charity to persuade another of it.

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