The ignorance of the world leaves one at the mercy of its malice.

We go on a journey to be free of all impediments; to leave ourselves behind much more than to get rid of others

Shall I faint, now that I have poured out the spirit of my mind to the world, and treated many subjects with truth, with freedom, with power, because I have been followed with one cry of abuse ever since for not being a Government tool?

The ignorance of the world leaves one at the mercy of its malice.

One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on a journey; I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me. I am then never less alone than when alone.

The person whose doors I enter with most pleasure, and quit with most regret, never did me the smallest favor.

Those who are pleased with the fewest things know the least, as those who are pleased with everything know nothing.
