Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.

I have no desire to make windows into mens souls

You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!

Most of what matters in our lives takes place in our absence.

Wisdom is not the product of schooling, but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.

An understanding of the natural world is a source of not only great curiosity, but great fulfilment.

An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.

Work is the price which is paid for reputation.

He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty.

And no one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves.

The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there...and still on your feet.

How often it is that the angry man rages denial of what his inner self is telling him.

Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.

It is hard to fight desire; but to control it is the sign of a reasonable man.

We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

Turn your wounds into wisdom.
