Honor Is Infinitely More Valuable Than Positions

Man Is To Be Found In Reason, God In The Passions.

What Concerns Me Alone I Only Think, What Concerns My Friends I Tell Them, What Can Be Of Interest To Only A Limited Public I Write, And What The World Ought To Know Is Printed.

Every Man Has His Moral Backside Which He Refrains From Showing Unless He Has To And Keeps Covered As Long As Possible With The Trousers Of Decorum.

Everyone Is Perfectly Willing To Learn From Unpleasant Experience - If Only The Damage Of The First Lesson Could Be Repaired.

To Many People Virtue Consists Chiefly In Repenting Faults, Not In Avoiding Them.
