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.
Fear not death for the sooner we die, the longer we shall be immortal
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall
The human being obtains some of his misfortunes by failing to attend to his own comfort.
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Be not entangled in this world of days and nights; Thou hast another time and space as well
The elements which are the most widely diffused have small atomic weights
