I am very fond of truth, but not at all of martyrdom.
When truth is evident, it is impossible for parties and factions to rise. There never has been a dispute as to whether there is daylight at noon.
The monster, fanaticism, still exists, and whoever seeks after truth will run the risk of being persecuted.
A good cook is a certain slow poisoner, if you are not temperate.
Secret griefs are more cruel than public calamities.
I was never ruined but twice: once when I lost a lawsuit, and once when I won one.
