"It is necessary to work, if not from inclination, at least from despair. Everything considered, work is less boring t…" — Charles-Pierre Baudelaire

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself

Joy and temperance and repose - slam the door on the doctor's nose

Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

I like to write when I feel spiteful. It is like having a good sneeze

Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks
