Quotes from the same author
Every time that a man who is not an absolute fool presents you with a
question he considers very problematic after giving it careful thought,
distrust those quick answers that come to the mind of someone who has

simplistic views lacking in consistency, which explain nothing, or which do
not bear examination.

Thus the rights of men are immense, and his greatest misfortune is to be unaware of them.
