If you want to be a real seeker of truth, you need to, at least once in your lifetime, doubt in, as much as it's possible, in everything.

Justice is what is established; and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.

...for the truth is always older than all the opinions men have held regarding it; and one should be ignoring the nature of truth if we imagined that the truth began at the time it came to be known.

Kind words produce their images on men's souls.

All evil stems from this-that we do. Know how to handle your solitude.

We are so presumptuous that we should like to be known all over the world, even by people who will only come when we are no more. Such is our vanity that the good opinion of half a dozen of the people around us gives us pleasure and satisfaction.

We like to be deceived.
