In truth, the care and expense of our fathers aims only at furnishing our heads with knowledge; of judgement and virtue, little news.

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

Hath God obliged himself not to exceed the bounds of our knowledge?

There are few things on which we can pass a sincere judgement, because there are few things in which we have not, in one way or another, a particular interest.

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 dispersing and scattering our names into many mouths, we call making them more great.

I do myself a greater injury in lying than I do him of whom I tell a lie.
