Most People Grow Old Within A Small

Hope Is The Only Good Thing That Disillusion Respects.

When We Are Convinced Of Some Great Truths, And Feel Our Convictions Keenly, We Must Not Fear To Express It, Although Others Have Said It Before Us. Every Thought Is New When An Author Expresses It In A Manner Peculiar To Himself.

The Maxim That Men Are Not To Be Praised Before Their Death Was Invented By Envy And Too Lightly Adopted By Philosophers. I, On The Contrary, Maintain That They Ought To Be Praised In Their Lifetime If They Merit It; But Jealousy And Calumny, Roused Against Their Virtue Or Their Talent, Labour To Degrade Them If Any One Ventures To Bear Testimony To Them. It Is Unjust Criticism That They Should Fear To Hazard, Not Sincere Praise.

Hatred Is Keener Than Friendship, Less Keen Than Love.

There Are Those Who Are So Scrupulously Afraid Of Doing Wrong That They Seldom Venture To Do Anything.
