Eloquence Is The Painting Of Thought.

The Consciousness Of The Falsity Of Present Pleasures, And The Ignorance Of The Vanity Of Absent Pleasures, Cause Inconstancy.

What A Chimera Then Is Man. What A Novelty! What A Monster... What A Contradiction, What A Prodigy

Mutual Cheating Is The Foundation Of Society.

The Entire Ocean Is Affected By A Single Pebble.

Nothing Is So Insufferable To Man As To Be Completely At Rest, Without Passions, Without Business, Without Diversion, Without Study. He Then Feels His Nothingness, His Forlornness, His Insufficiency, His Dependence, His Weakness, His Emptiness. There Will Immediately Arise From The Depth Of His Heart Weariness, Gloom, Sadness, Fretfulness, Vexation, Despair.
