Nature always springs to the surface and manages to show what she is. It is vain to stop or try to drive her back. She breaks through every obstacle, pushes forward, and at last makes for herself a way.
No one who cannot limit himself has ever been able to write.
Greatest fools are the most often satisfied.
A fool always finds one still more foolish to admire him.
Who lives content with little possesses everything.
It is in vain a daring author thinks of attaining to the heights of Parnassus if he does not feel the secret influence of heaven and if his natal star has not formed him to be a poet.
