Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.

Science rushes headlong, without selectivity, without "taste," at whatever is knowable, in the blind desire to know all at any cost.

If you have an enemy, do not requite him evil with good, for that would put him to shame. Rather prove that he did you some good.

Whom do you call bad?--Those who always want to induce shame.

Here is a hero who did nothing but shake the tree as soon as the fruit was ripe. Does this seem to be too small a thing to you? Then take a good look at the tree he shook.

No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

But by my love and hope I beseech you: do not throw away the hero in your soul! Hold holy your highest hope!
