Solemnity Is The Shield Of Idiots

I Suffer From The Disease Of Writing Books And Being Ashamed Of Them When They Are Finished.

They Who Love To Inform Themselves, Are Never Idle. Though I Have No Business Of Consequence To Take Care Of, I Am Nevertheless Continually Employed. I Spend My Life In Examining Things: I Write Down In The Evening Whatever I Have Remarked, What I Have Seen, And What I Have Heard In The Day: Every Thing Engages My Attention, And Every Thing Excites My Wonder: I Am Like An Infant, Whose Organs, As Yet Tender, Are Strongly Affected By The Slightest Objects.

A Nation May Lose Its Liberties In A Day And Not Miss Them In A Century.

It Is Rare To Find Learned Men Who Are Clean, Do Not Stink And Have A Sense Of Humour.

An Injustice Committed Against Anyone Is A Threat To Everyone.
