To know how to live is my trade and my art.

There never were, in the world, two opinions alike, no more than two hairs, or two grains; the most universal quality is diversity.

Tis so much to be a king, that he only is so by being so.

It is an absolute perfection and virtually divine to know how to enjoy our being rightfully.

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.

I do not speak the minds of others except to speak my own mind better.
