On the top of each peak you are on the edge of the abyss
Every now and then you meet a man whose ignorance is encyclopedic.
Man is fatally slow on the uptake; it always takes him until the next generation to understand what's going on.
The man who bows before the ruler, shows his behind to the courtiers
Whenever man begins to doubt himself, he does something so stupid that he is reassured.
It isn't easy to live after death. It takes a lifetime.
