“I have steadily endeavoured to keep my mind free, so as to give up any hypothesis, however much beloved (and I cannot resist forming one on every subject), as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it.”

“I am not an optimist, but a great believer of hope.”

“Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”

“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”

“It is only prudent never to place complete confidence in that by which we have even once been deceived.”

“Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.”
