It Cannot Be A Vice In Men

Men Dissimulate Their Dearest, Most Constant, And Most Virtuous Inclination From Weakness And A Fear Of Being Condemned.

Our Virtues Are Dearer To Us The More We Have Had To Suffer For Them. It Is The Same With Our Children. All Profound Affection Admits A Sacrifice.

Clearness Ornaments Profound Thoughts.

It Is In Our Own Mind And Not In Exterior Objects That We Perceive Most Things; Fools Know Scarcely Anything Because They Are Empty, And Their Heart Is Narrow; But Great Souls Find In Themselves A Number Of Exterior Things; They Have No Need To Read Or Travel Or To Listen Or To Work To Discover The Highest Truths; They Have Only To Delve Into Themselves And Search, If We May Say So, Their Own Thoughts.

To Possess Taste, One Must Have Some Soul.
