Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.

I will put up with any mockery rather than pretend that I am satisfied when I am hungry.

I punish myself for my whole life, my whole life I punish.

Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.

It wasn't the New World that mattered... Columbus died almost without seeing it; and not really knowing what he had discovered. It's life that matters, nothing but life - the process of discovering, the everlasting and perpetual process, not the discovery itself, at all.

To love someone means to see him as God intended him.

I believe the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped.
