Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind.

Each day look into your conscience and amend your faults; if you fail in this duty you will be untrue to the Knowledge and Reason that are within you. Keep a watchful eye over yourself as if you were your own enemy; for you cannot learn to govern yourself, unless you first learn to govern your own passions and obey the dictates of your conscience.

Where can I find a man governed by reason instead of habits and urges?

History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.

The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.
