| Nothing, it appears to me is of greater value in a man than the power of judgement and the man who has it may be compared to a chest fulled with books, for he is the son of nature and the father of art. |
| I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies. |
| A high heart ought to bear calamities and not flee them, since in bearing them appears the grandeur of the mind and in fleeing them the cowardice of the heart. |
