It is man’s natural sickness to believe that he possesses the truth
French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian.
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
I would prefer an intelligent hell to a stupid paradise
Kind words don't cost much. Yet they accomplish much
To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher
Begin now to be what you will be hereafter
The high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think.
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.
Don’t talk about your good health in front of sick
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others
Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy
