| A man must keep a little back shop where he can be himself without reserve. In solitude alone can he know true freedom. | Those who give the first shock to a state are the first overwhelmed in its ruin; the fruits of public commotion are seldom enjoyed by him who was the first mover; he only beats the water for another's net. | I see men ordinarily more eager to discover a reason for things than to find out whether things are so. | Laws are maintained in credit, not because they are essentially just, but because they are laws. It is the mystical foundation of their authority; they have none other. | To forbid us anything is to make us have a mind for it. | Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul. |
