And if a craftsman was sure to dream for 12 hours every night that he is king, I think he would be almost as happy as a king who dreams for 12 hours every night that he is a craftsman.
Nothing gives certainty except the truth, nothing gives so much peace as the honest search for the truth.
Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.
A drop of love is more than an ocean of knowledge.
I have only made this letter longer because I have not had the time to make it shorter
Contradiction is not a mark of falsity, nor is incontradiction a mark of truth.
We seek truth and find only uncertainty.
It is not good to possess too much freedom.
Truth beyond the Pyrenees, error beyond.
The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of.
