“There is nothing more ancient than the truth.”

“Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.”

“Of all things, good sense is the most fairly distributed: everyone thinks he is so well supplied with it that even those who are the hardest to satisfy in every other respect never desire more of it than they already have.”

“Good sense is of all things in the world the most equally distributed, for everybody thinks he is so well supplied with it that even those most difficult to please in all other matters never desire more of it than they already possess.”

“It is best not to go on for great quest for truth , it will only make you miserable”

“Good sense is the most equitably distributed of all things because no matter how much or little a person has, everyone feels so abundantly provided with good sense that he feels no desire for more than he already possesses.”

“To live without philosophizing is in truth the same as keeping the eyes closed without attempting to open them.”
