Genius is that which forces the inertia of humanity to learn.

There is nothing in philosophy which could not be said in everyday language.

ACT as men of thought; THINK as men of action.

The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.

Men do not sufficiently realize that their future is in their own hands. Theirs is the task of determining first of all whether they want to go on living or not. Theirs is the responsibility, then, for deciding if they want merely to live, or intend to make just the extra effort required for fulfilling, even on this refractory planet, the essential function of the universe, which is a machine for the making of gods.
