The community which has neither poverty nor riches will always have the noblest principles.

And so, when a person meets the half that is his very own, whatever his orientation, whether it's to young men or not, then something wonderful happens: the two are struck from their senses by love, by a sense of belonging to one another, and by desire, and they don't want to be separated from one another, not even for a moment.

The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.

God is truth and light his shadow.

The good, of course, is always beautiful, and the beautiful never lacks proportion.

I do believe that there are gods, and in a far higher sense than that in which any of my accusers believe in them.

May I do to others as I would that they should do unto me.
