I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.

It is not by spectacular achievements that man can be transformed, but by will.

The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.

A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.

The majority never has right on its side. Never, I say! That is one of these social lies against which an independent, intelligent men must wage war. Who is it that constitute the majority of the population in a country? Is it the clever folk, or the stupid? I don't imagine you will dispute the fact that at present the stupid people are in an absolutely overwhelming majority all the world over.

Friends are to be feared, not so much for what they make us do as what they keep us from doing.

Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.
