In Every Man There Is Something Of

Virtue By Premeditation Isn't Worth Much.

A Clever Child Brought Up With A Foolish One Can Itself Become Foolish. Man Is So Perfectible And Corruptible He Can Become A Fool Through Good Sense.

Man Is Perhaps Half Mind And Half Matter In The Same Way As The Polyp Is Half Plant And Half Animal. The Strangest Creatures Are Always Found On The Border Lines Of Species.

The Greatest Things In The World Are Brought About By Other Things Which We Count As Nothing: Little Causes We Overlook But Which At Length Accumulate.

Before One Blames, One Should Always Find Out Whether One Cannot Excuse. To Discover Little Faults Has Been Always The Particularity Of Such Brains That Are A Little Or Not At All Above The Average. The Superior Ones Keep Quiet Or Say Something Against The Whole And The Great Minds Transform Without Blaming.
