| A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears. |
| A wise man never loses anything, if he has himself |
| A wise man sees as much as he ought, not as much as he can. |

| All general judgments are loose and imperfect |
| All the fame I look for in life is to have lived it quietly |
| All the world knows me in my book, and may book in me. |
