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

Goodness is to do good to the deserving and love the good and hate the wicked, and not to be eager to inflict punishment or take vengeance, but to be gracious and kindly and forgiving.

Actual knowledge is identical with its object: in the individual, potential knowledge is in time prior to actual knowledge, but in the universe as a whole it is not prior even in time. Mind is not at one time knowing and at another not. When mind is set free from its present conditions it appears as just what it is and nothing more: this alone is immortal and eternal (we do not, however, remember its former activity because, while mind in this sense is impassible, mind as passive is destructible), and without it nothing thinks.

Bring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.

The ultimate end...is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late.

It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.

The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.
