“ He that knew all that learning ever writ, Knew only this - that he knew nothing yet. ”
The only shame is the sin.
~ Aphra Behn
That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.
Money speaks sense in a language all nations understand.
And did with sighs their fate deplore,Since I must shelter them no more;And if before my joys were such,In having heard, and seen too much,My grief must be as great and high,When all abandoned I shall be,Doomed to a silent destiny.
