“What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature.”

“There are truths which are not for all men, nor for all times.”

“Cherish those who seek the truth but beware of those who find it.”

“To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.”

“Verses which do not teach men new and moving truths do not deserve to be read.”

“It is love; love, the comfort of the human species, the preserver of the universe, the soul of all sentient beings, love, tender love.”
