Quote by Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715-1747)

• When a thought is too weak to be expressed simply, it should be rejected.

• Every thought is new when an author expresses it in a manner peculiar to himself.

• The things we know best are the things we haven't been taught.

• It is not true that equality is a law of nature. Nature has no equality. Its sovereign law is subordination and dependence.
