Most men are within a finger's breadth of being mad.

When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man

It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.

Most men are within a finger's breadth of being mad.

When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man.

The sun too penetrates into privies, but is not polluted by them
