A society without religion is like a vessel without compass. Men of genius are meteors intended to burn to light their century. Know how to listen and be sure that silence often produces the same effects than science. How men of letters are stupid. We are born, we live, we die among supernatural.
Time is the great art of man.
It is the success which makes great men. The heart of a statesman must be in his head. From sublime to ridiculousness there is only one step. Lack is more in means than in principles. High politic is only common sense applied to great things.
