There is no real philosophy until the mind turns around and examines itself.

Liberty is a product of order.

History is mostly guessing; the rest is prejudice.

Art lies in conceiving and designing, not in the actual execution' - this was left for lesser minds.

Philosophy is harmonized knowledge making a harmonious life; it is the self-discipline which lifts us to serenity and freedom. Knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty.

Power dements even more than it corrupts, lowering the guard of foresight and raising the haste of action.

Destroy it. There may be a redistribution of the land, but the natural inequality of men soon re-creates an inequality of possessions and privileges, and raises to power a new minority with essentially the same instincts as the old.
