“Ideas too are a life and a world.”

“Virtue by premeditation isn't worth much.”

“First we have to believe, and then we believe.”

“Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.”

“Erudition can produce foliage without bearing fruit.”

“Nowadays three witty turns of phrase and a lie make a writer.”
