One Day Soon You Will

In A Man Devoted To Knowledge, Pity Seems Almost Ridiculous, Like Delicate Hands On A Cyclops.

Examine The Life Of The Best And Most Productive Men And Nations, And Ask Yourselves Whether A Tree Which Is To Grow Proudly Skywards Can Dispense With Bad Weather And Storms. Whether Misfortune And Opposition, Or Every Kind Of Hatred, Jealousy, Stubbornness, Distrust, Severity, Greed, And Violence Do Not Belong To The Favourable Conditions Without Which A Great Growth Even Of Virtue Is Hardly Possible?

One Pays Dearly For Being Immortal: One Must Die Many Times During His Life.

For Nothing Is More Democratic Than Logic; It Is No Respecter Of Persons And Makes No Distinction Between Crooked And Straight Noses.

A Married Philosopher Is A Comic Character.
