Unjust dominion cannot be eternal.

One who's our friend is fond of us; one who's fond of us isn't necessarily our friend.

He that lays down precepts for the governing of our lives, and moderating our passions, obliges humanity not only in the present, but in all future generations.

Humanity is fortunate, because no man is unhappy except by his own fault.

Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance; it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.

Shall I tell you what philosophy holds out to humanity? Counsel...You are called in to help the unhappy.

My joy in learning is partly that it enables me to teach.
