Meditation is a powerful and full study as can effectually taste and employ themselves.

We need to interpret interpretations more than to interpret things.

Nothing is so firmly believed as that which is least known.

When I express my opinions$$$ it is so as to reveal the measure of my sight not the measure of the thing.

I speak the truth$$$ not so much as I would$$$ but as much as I dare; and I dare a little more as I grow older.

I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.

No entertainment is so cheap as reading$$$ nor any pleasure so lasting.

Lend yourself to others$$$ but give yourself to yourself.

Lying's wrong$$$ but when the world spins backwards$$$ a small wrong may be a big right.

A genius is the one most like himself.
