He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who overcomes his enemies.
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
We should venture on the study of every kind of animal without distaste; for each and all will reveal to us something natural and something beautiful.
Nature flies from the infinite, for the infinite is unending or imperfect, and Nature ever seeks amend.
Concerning the generation of animals akin to them, as hornets and wasps, the facts in all cases are similar to a certain extent, but are devoid of the extraordinary features which characterize bees; this we should expect, for they have nothing divine about them as the bees have.
Just as it sometimes happens that deformed offspring are produced by deformed parents, and sometimes not, so the offspring produced by a female are sometimes female,
sometimes not, but male, because the female is as it were a deformed male.
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
Time crumbles things; everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
