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.
Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist
Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something
Be curious, not judgmental
Look closely. The beautiful may be small
Nothing hurts a good soul and a kind heart more than to live amongst people who cannot understand it
A centre of excellence is, by definition, a place where second class people may perform first class work
