Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.

When liberty exceeds intelligence, it begets chaos, which begets dictatorship.

We are living in the excesses of freedom. Just take a look at 42nd Street and Broadway.

If you wish to be loved, be modest; if you wish to be admired, be proud; if you wish both, combine external modesty with internal pride.

The future never just happened. It was created.

What if it is for life's sake that we must die? In truth we are not individuals; and it is because we think ourselves such that death seems unforgivable. We are temporary organs of the race, cells in the body of life; we die and drop away that life may remain young and strong. If we were to live forever, growth would be stifled, and youth would find no room on earth. Death, like style, is the removal of rubbish, the circumcision of the superfluous. In the midst of death life renews itself immortally.

How much more suffering is caused by the thought of death than by death itself.
