Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.
Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.
Chance is a word void of sense; nothing can exist without a cause.
Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.
The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.
Let us work without theorizing, tis the only way to make life endurable.
