I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.

A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.

The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.

Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it.

Respect yourself if you would have others respect you.

Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.

The future is uncertain but the end is always near.

We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

Kind words don't cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.

Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.

The more skilled you are at something, the worse you are at it when showing someone.

Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

When prosperity comes, do not use all of it.

Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.

The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.

Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
