If You Want It To Be So,

Only He Can Judge Of Matters Great And High Whose Soul Is Likewise.

The Truth Of These Days Is Not That Which Really Is, But What Every Man Persuades Another Man To Believe.

The Wise Man Should Withdraw His Soul Within, Out Of The Crowd, And Keep It In Freedom And Power To Judge Things Freely; But As For Externals, He Should Wholly Follow The Accepted Fashions And Forms.

Of The Opinions Of Philosophy I Most Gladly Embrace Those That Are Most Solid, That Is To Say, Most Human And Most Our Own; My Opinions, In Conformity With My Conduct, Are Low And Humble.

Is There Anything So Grave And Serious As An Ass?
