The Mind Reaches Great Heights Only By

We Are Very Wrong To Think That Some Fault Or Other Can Exclude Virtue, Or To Consider The Alliance Of Good And Evil As A Monstrosity Or An Enigma.

The Greatest Evil That Fortune Can Bring To Men Is To Endow Them With Feeble Resources And Yet To Make Them Ambitious.

No One Likes To Be Pitied For His Faults.

If Anyone Accuses Me Of Contradicting Myself, I Shall Reply; I Have Been Wrong Once Or More Often, However I Do Not Aspire To Be Always Wrong.

None Are More Liable To Mistakes Than Those Who Act Only On Second Thoughts.
