Our Failings Sometimes Bind Us

All Grand Thoughts Come From The Heart.

Few Maxims Are True In Every Respect.

It Is In Our Own Mind And Not In Exterior Objects That We Perceive Most Things; Fools Know Scarcely Anything Because They Are Empty, And Their Heart Is Narrow; But Great Souls Find In Themselves A Number Of Exterior Things; They Have No Need To Read Or Travel Or To Listen Or To Work To Discover The Highest Truths; They Have Only To Delve Into Themselves And Search, If We May Say So, Their Own Thoughts.

It Is No Great Advantage To Possess A Quick Wit, If It Is Not Correct; The Perfection Is Not Speed But Uniformity.

Men Dissimulate Their Dearest, Most Constant, And Most Virtuous Inclination From Weakness And A Fear Of Being Condemned.
