“Thought constitutes the greatness of man.”

Man is neither angel nor brute, and the unfortunate thing is that he who would act the angel acts the brute.

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.

We are generally the better persuaded by the reasons we discover ourselves than by those given to us by others.

Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.

If all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
