Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways.
The greatest fools are oft the most satisfied.
Happy who in his verse can gently steer, From grave to light, from pleasant to severe.
Of all the animals which fly in the air, walk on the land, or swim in the sea, from Paris to Peru, from Japan to Rome, the most foolish animal in my opinion is man.
The dreadful burden of having nothing to do.
However big the fool, there is always a bigger fool to admire him.
