The vicissitudes of fortune$$$ which spares neither man nor the proudest of his works$$$ which buries empires and cities in a common grave.

I would have offered you a forest of truth$$$ but you wish to speak of a single leaf.

Miracles are merely events that happen just when they are needed.

All the joys -- animal and human -- of a free life are mine. I have escaped everything that is artificial$$$ conventional$$$ customary. I am entering into the truth$$$ into nature.

How easy it is to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly.

I would not have traded the delights of my suffering for anything in the world.

There is no 'way to peace$$$' there is only 'peace.'

I am the immense shadow of my tears.

I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely.
