Our self-love can be resigned to the sacrifice of everything but itself..

Superstition changes a man to a beast, fanaticism makes him a wild beast, and despotism a beast of burden..

To exaggerate is to weaken..

We weaken what we exaggerate..

To teach successfully we must tell all we know, but only what is adaptable to the student..

We always weaken whatever we exaggerate..

We never forget those who make us blush..
