Man's Grandeur Is That He Knows Himself

Meanings Receive Their Dignity From Words Instead Of Giving It To Them.

The Authority Of Reason Is Far More Imperious Than That Of A Master; For He Who Disobeys The One Is Unhappy, But He Who Disobeys The Other Is A Fool.

Man Is So Made That By Continually Telling Him He Is A Fool He Believes It, And By Continually Telling It To Himself He Makes Himself Believe It. For Man Holds An Inward Talk With Himself, Which It Pays Him To Regulate.

It Is Right That What Is Just Should Be Obeyed. It Is Necessary That What Is Strongest Should Be Obeyed.

Seeing Too Much To Deny And Too Little To Be Sure, I Am In A State To Be Pitied.
