"We perceive when love begins and when it declines by our embarrassment when alone together. " — Jean de La Bruyère

To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook

Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people

Faith: not wanting to know what is true

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof
