I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices
Genevan philosopher, writer and composer. His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Enlightenment throughout Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution.
The greater the reform needed, the greater the personality you need to accomplish it
O Contentment, make me rich! for without thee there is no wealth
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose
Nothing can kill the power of the lower self, but everything serves to enhance it.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry
Surely silence can sometimes be the most eloquent reply
