Ignorance is always ready to admire itself. Procure yourself critical friends.
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.
The greatest fools are oft the most satisfied.
It is the sin which we have not committed which seems the most monstrous.
A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him.
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.
