—Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues (17151747)
“Religion is by no means a proper subject of conversation in mixed company; it should only be treated among a very few people of learning, for mutual instruction. It is too awful and respectable a subject to become a familiar one.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“Even people who sleep in the same bed each dream their own dreams.”
—Chinese proverb.
