The most dangerous person is the fearful; he is the most to be feared.

Only the suppressed word is dangerous.

History teaches us virtue, but nature never ceases to teachh us vice.

Governments are the sails, the people the wind, the country is the ship and time is the sea.

To be original you must listen to the voice of your heart rather than the clamor of the world - and have the courage to teach publicly what you have learned. The source of all genius is sincerity; men would be wiser if they were more moral.

If you must hate, if hatred is the leaven of your life, which alone can give flavor, then hate what should be hated: falsehood, violence, selfishness.

Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.
