In the many forms of government which have sprung up there has always been an acknowledgement of justice and proportionate equality, although mankind fail in attaining them, as indeed I have already explained. Democracy, for example, arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.

Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.

Whereas the law is passionless, passion must ever sway the heart of man.

For through wondering human beings now and in the beginning have been led to philosophizing.

All art is concerned with coming into being.

Beauty is a gift of God.
