Dubium sapientiae initium. (Doubt is the origin of wisdom.)
Cogito, ergo sum. (I think, therefore I am.)
Ex nihilo nihil fit. (Nothing comes out of nothing.)
Me tenant comme je suis, un pied dans un pays et l’autre en un autre, je trouve ma condition très heureuse, en ce qu’elle est libre. (Staying as I am, one foot in one country and the other in another, I find my condition very happy, in that it is free.)
Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.
The greatest minds, as they are capable of the highest excellencies, are open likewise to the greatest aberrations; and those who travel very slowly may yet make far greater progress, provided they keep always to the straight road, than those who, while they run, forsake it.
The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries.
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
Conquer yourself rather than the world.
