The Most Beautiful Lives, To My Mind,

Can Anything Be Imagined So Ridiculous That This Miserable And Wretched Creature, Who Is Not So Much As Master Of Himself, But Subject To The Injuries Of All Things, Should Call Himself Master And Emperor Of The World, Of Which He Has Not Power To Know The Least Part, Much Less To Command The Whole?

We Are Born To Inquire Into Truth; It Belongs To A Greater To Possess It

And Therefore, Reader, I Myself Am The Subject Of My Book: It Is Not Reasonable That You Should Employ Your Leisure On A Topic So Frivolous And So Vain. Therefore, Farewell.

Miracles Arise From Our Ignorance Of Nature, Not From Nature Itself.

And Obstinacy Is The Sister Of Constancy, At Least In Vigour And Stability.
