I would prefer an intelligent hell to a stupid paradise
French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian.
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the truth
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back
Dull minds are never either intuitive or mathematical
I lay it down as a fact that if all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world
Kind words don't cost much. Yet they accomplish much
To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher
Broadly speaking short words are best and the old words when short, are best of all
The timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness. And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream
Liberty of any kind is never lost all at once
The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn
I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing
Rise above sectional interests and private ambitions... Pass from matter to spirit. Matter is diversity; spirit is light, life and unity
