Things which are accidentally the causes either of hope or fear are called good or evil omens.

If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.

Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear. [They are the two sides of a coin, so learning how to manage fear through learning, understanding, rationality, controlled imagination, preparation, mental focus (including distraction) and a gratitude attitude is very helpful.]

Peace is not the absence of war, but a virtue based on strength of character.

God is not He who is, but That which is.

Love or hatred towards a thing, which we conceive to be free, must, other things being similar, be greater than if it were felt towards a thing acting by necessity.

Measure, time and number are nothing but modes of thought or rather of imagination.
