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

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.

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.

Only the suppressed word is dangerous.

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

You are not loved when you are lovely, but when you are loved you are found to be lovely.

Because I was born a slave, I love liberty more than you.
