“Nothing is made from nothing.”

For the very fact that my knowledge is increasing little by little is the most certain argument for its imperfection.

At last I will devote myself sincerely and without reservation to the general demolition of my opinions.

I had become aware, as early as my college days, that no opinion, however absurd and incredible can be imagined, that has not been held by one of the philosophers.

To know what people really think, pay attention to what they do, rather than what they say.

Let whoever can do so deceive me, he will never bring it about that I am nothing, so long as I continue to think I am something.

Am I so tied to a body and senses that I am incapable of existing without them?

Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems.

The first precept was never to accept a thing as true until I knew it as such without a single doubt

Masked, I advance.

There is nothing more ancient than the truth.

When it is not in our power to determine what it true, we ought to follow what is most probable.

For I found myself embarrassed with so many doubts and errors that it seemed to me that the effort to instruct myself had no effect other than the increasing discovery of my own ignorance

All that is necessary to right action is right judgment, and to the best action the most correct judgment.

I desire to live in peace and to continue the life I have begun under the motto ‘to live well you must live unseen’.

Truths are more likely to have been discovered by one man than by nation

I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.

You are the only you that has ever been created in the history of the universe.

You cannot reclaim what you have spent.

Paper has more patience than people.

You can’t see under the surface. Everyone is going through something.

Holding on unnecessary stuff lead to unnecessary stress.

Sometimes things are not as that much harder as we make it.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

We really don’t give ourselves enough credit for what we deserve.
