Philosophy is by its nature something esoteric, neither made for the mob nor capable of being prepared for the mob.

Children are potentially free and their life directly embodies nothing save potential freedom. Consequently they are not things and cannot be the property either of their parents or others.

Governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deducted from it.

The people will learn to feel the dignity of man. They will not merely demand their rights, which have been trampled in the dust, but themselves will take them - make them their own.

Freedom is the fundamental character of the will, as weight is of matter... That which is free is the will. Will without freedom is an empty word.

Too fair to worship, too divine to love.

The more certain our knowledge the less we know.
