In proportion to the love existing among men, so will be the community of property and power. Among true and real friends, all is common; and, were ignorance and envy and superstition banished from the world, all mankind would be friends. The only perfect and genuine republic is that which comprehends every living being. Those distinctions which have been artificially set up, of nations, societies, families, and religions, are only general names, expressing the abhorrence and contempt with which men blindly consider their fellowmen.

Music, when soft voices die Vibrates in the memory.

The young moon has fed Her exhausted horn With the sunset's fire.

If a person's religious ideas correspond not with your own, love him nevertheless

No one has yet been found resolute enough in dogmatizing to deny that Nature made man equal; that society has destroyed this equality is a truth not more incontrovertible.

When the power of imparting joy is equal to the will, the human soul requires no other heaven.

To be omnipotent but friendless is to reign.
