Commerce Is The School Of Cheating.

The Maxim That Men Are Not To Be Praised Before Their Death Was Invented By Envy And Too Lightly Adopted By Philosophers. I, On The Contrary, Maintain That They Ought To Be Praised In Their Lifetime If They Merit It; But Jealousy And Calumny, Roused Against Their Virtue Or Their Talent, Labour To Degrade Them If Any One Ventures To Bear Testimony To Them. It Is Unjust Criticism That They Should Fear To Hazard, Not Sincere Praise.

Newton, Pascal, Bossuet, Racine, F?nelon -- That Is To Say, Some Of The Most Enlightened Men On Earth, In The Most Philosophical Of All Ages -- Have Been Believers In Jesus Christ; And The Great Cond?, When Dying, Repeated These Noble Words, "yes, I Shall See God As He Is, Face To Face!".

No One Is More Liable To Make Mistakes Than He Who Acts Only On Reflexion.

As Soon As An Opinion Becomes Common It Is Sufficient Reason For Men To Abandon It And To Uphold The Opposite Opinion Until That In Its Turn Grows Old, And They Require To Distinguish Themselves By Other Things. Thus If They Attain Their Goal In Some Art Or Science, We Must Expect Them Soon To Cast It Aside To Acquire Some Fresh Fame, And This Is Partly The Reason Why The Most Splendid Ages Degenerate So Quickly, And, Scarcely Emerged From Barbarism, Plunge Into It Again.

Hatred Is Keener Than Friendship, Less Keen Than Love.
