Love is a great spirit. Everything spiritual is in between god and mortal.

The first step in learning is the destruction of human conceit.

Courage is a kind of salvation.

But this is not difficult, O Athenians! to escape death; but it is much more difficult to avoid depravity, for it runs swifter than death. And now I, being slow and aged, am overtaken by the slower of the two; but my accusers, being strong and active, have been overtaken by the swifter, wickedness. And now I depart, condemned by you to death; but they condemned by truth, as guilty of iniquity and injustice: and I abide my sentence, and so do they. These things, perhaps, ought so to be, and I think that they are for the best.

To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise without really being wise, for it is to think that we know what we do not know.

It is right to give every man his due.

He who does not desire power is fit to hold it.
