In Order To Protect Himself From Force,

The Mind Is The Soul's Eye, Not Its Source Of Power. That Lies In The Heart, In Other Words, In The Passions.

Magnanimity Will Not Consider The Prudence Of Its Motives.

As Soon As An Opinion Becomes Common It Is Sufficient Reason For Men To Abandon It And To Uphold The Opposite Opinion Until That In Its Turn Grows Old, And They Require To Distinguish Themselves By Other Things. Thus If They Attain Their Goal In Some Art Or Science, We Must Expect Them Soon To Cast It Aside To Acquire Some Fresh Fame, And This Is Partly The Reason Why The Most Splendid Ages Degenerate So Quickly, And, Scarcely Emerged From Barbarism, Plunge Into It Again.

A Man Can Hardly Be Said To Have Made A Fortune If He Does Not Know How To Enjoy It.

It Cannot Be A Vice In Men To Be Sensible Of Their Strength.
