He who hid well, lived well
French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. A native of the Kingdom of France, he spent about 20 years of his life in the Dutch Republic after serving for a while in the Dutch States Army of Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange and the Stadtholder of the United Provinces.
Doubt is the origin of wisdom
We stopped looking for monsters under our bed when we realized that they were inside us
A lovely face is the solace of wounded hearts and the key of locked-up gates
You can make anything by writing
Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever
Appear as you may wish to be
