Where man is not, nature is barren.

Am not IA fly like thee?Or art not thouA man like me?

I care not whether a man is good or evil; all that I care / Is whether he is a wise man or a fool. Go! put off holiness, / And put on intellect.

As a man is, so he sees

If others had not been foolish, we should be so.

A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
