I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.

Let him who would move the world first move himself.

Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath.

It is man that makes truth great, not truth that makes man great.

Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.

Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.

Early to bed and early to rise, Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.

Desire is the very essence of man.

Wisdom... comes not from age, but from education and learning.

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

You don't want to lose your old friend - the misery - You have invested too much into false - Hence the fear to be exposed -to be true - to be naked as you are.

Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.

Criticize the act, not the person.

Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time.

All imperfection is easier to tolerate if served up in small doses.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference.

Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.
