You are a man still young, so to say, in your first youth and so put intellect above everything.

Of course I shall go astray often...for who does not make mistakes? But I cannot go far wrong for I have seen the truth.

Neither man nor nation can exist without a sublime idea.

It is man's unique privilege, among all other organisms. By pursuing falsehood you will arrive at the truth!

To a commonplace man of limited intellect, for instance, nothing is simpler than to imagine himself an original character, and to revel in that belief without the slightest misgiving.

It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader.

Lack of originality, everywhere, all over the world, from time immemorial, has always been considered the foremost quality and the recommendation of the active, efficient and practical man.
