A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.

What if a man save my life with a draught that was prepared to poison me? The providence of the issue does not at all discharge the obliquity of the intent. And the same reason holds good even in religion itself. It is not the incense, or the offering that is acceptable to God, but the purity and devotion of the worshipper.

It is safer to offend certain men than it is to oblige them; for as proof that they owe nothing they seek recourse in hatred.

If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favorable to him. Ignoranti quem portum petat, nullus suus ventus est.

Injustice never rules forever.

I am not born from a single place. My country is the whole world.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
