Heaven lent you a soul, Earth will lend a grave.

It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness, it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.

The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess.

Courage enlarges cowardice, diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.

To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle.

The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.

What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.

The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life.
