Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?
The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason.
Destiny is not a passive agent that lies in the lap of the Gods, but is an active instrument that lies in your own hands to shape as you will.
Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.

He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave.
A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
The greatest power we have is the power of choice.
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.
Kind words don't cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
