I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.

He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.

One man's ways may be as good as another's, but we all like our own best.
