Denis Diderot Quotes and Quotations
Isn't it better to have men be ungrateful, than to miss a chance to do good? Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things. Instinct guides the animal better than the man. In the animal it is pure, in man it is led astray by his reason and intelligence. You risk just as much in being credulous as in being suspicious. Distance is a great promoter of admiration! The best doctor is the one you run for and can't find.
