That folly of old age which is called dotage is peculiar to silly old men, not to age itself.

Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.

If our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.

If wisdom be attainable, let us not only win but enjoy it.

The spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which can be pointed out by your finger.

Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow

I do not understand what the man who is happy wants in order to be happier.
