| Respect yourself most of all. |
| Truth is so great a perfection, that if God would render himself visible to men, he would choose light for his body and truth for his soul. |
| No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. |
| Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few. |
| As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom. |
| Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please. |
