"It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little" — Diogenes

All great truths begin as blasphemies

I do not know myself and God forbid that I should

God is subtle but he is not malicious

It is by the fortune of God that, in this country, we have three benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either.

In our good works nothing is our own

Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things
