Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.
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.
Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.
Nothing is lasting but change; nothing perpetual but death.
Only the suppressed word is dangerous.
