Tu peux, à l'heure que tu veux, te retirer en toi-même. Nulle retraite n'est plus tranquille ni moins troublée pour l'homme que celle qu'il trouve en son âme.

German
Ziehe dich in dich selbst zurück: dem vernünftigen herrschenden Seelenteil ist ja die Fähigkeit angeboren, sein Genügen in sich selber zu finden, wenn er gerecht handelt und ebendaher vollendete Ruhe hat.
