He who eats in idleness that which he himself has not earned, steals it; and a capitalist whom the state pays for doing nothing differs little in my eyes from a brigand, who lives at the expense of passers-by.

To abstain that we may enjoy is the epicurianism of reason.

To renounce freedom is to renounce one's humanity, one's rights as a man and equally one's duties.

Education is either from nature, from man or from things. The developing of our faculties and organs is the education of nature; that of man is the application we learn to make of this very developing; and that of things is the experience we acquire in regard to the different objects by which we are affected. All that we have not at our birth, and that we stand in need of at the years of maturity, is the gift of education.

Sacrifice life to truth.

Freedom is the power to choose our own chains

Quit thy childhood, my friend, and wake up!
