One man's word is no man's word; we should quietly hear both sides.

All one needs to do is declare oneself free and one will immediately feel dependent. If you dare to declare yourself dependent, you feel independent.

He only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.

If the whole world I once could see On free soil stand, with the people free Then to the moment might I say, Linger awhile. . .so fair thou art.

They should be ashamed of themselves, all these sober people!

Is this the destiny of man? Is he only happy before he has acquired his reason or after he has lost it?

Where I cannot be moral, my power is gone.
