Servitude Degrades People To Such A Point

Hope Animates The Wise, And Lures The Presumptuous And Indolent Who Repose Inconsiderately On Her Promises.

All Men Are Born Truthful And Die Liars.

Those Who Can Bear All Can Dare All.

We Have Neither The Strength Nor The Opportunity To Accomplish All The Good And All The Evil Which We Design.

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.
