Only law can give us freedom.

The man who masters himself is delivered from the force that binds all creatures.

I am not omniscient, but I know a lot.

Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.

Where is the man who has the strength to be true, and to show himself as he is?

The finished man, you know, is difficult to please; a growing mind will ever show you gratitude. --Faust 1, lines 182-3

Desire is the presentiment of our inner abilities, and the forerunner of our ultimate accomplishments.
