It is not enough to have a good mind the main thing is to use it well.
The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.
Good sense is of all things in the world the most equally distributed, for everybody thinks he is so well supplied with it, that even those most difficult to please in all other matters never desire more of it than they already possess.
Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense - no one needs more of it than one already has
Cogito, ergo, sum. (I think therefore I am.)
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the self-same well from which your laughter rises was often-times filled with your tears.
The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts.
Cogito ergo sum.
It is only prudent never to place complete confidence in that by which we have even once been deceived.
