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
I need a six month vacation, twice a year
Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows
With life as short as half taken breath, don't plant anything but love
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is
Honesty saves you even if you fear it
