The human race is a monotonous affair. Most people spend the greatest part of their time working in order to live, and what little freedom remains so fills them with fear that they seek out any and every means to be rid of it.

It is in vain that a man of sound mind and cool temper understands the condition of such a wretched being... He can no more communicate his own wisdom to him than a healthy man can instil his strength into the invalid by whose bedside he is seated.

Whoever wishes to keep a secret must hide the fact that he possesses one.

When I make a mistake everyone can see it, but not when I lie.

Create, artist, do not talk.

Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born

Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.
