Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.

There is always time to add a word, never to withdraw one.

Where wisdom reigns, there is no conflict between thinking and feeling.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honor; duty; mercy; hope.

Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.

Think globally, act locally.

Where you stand depends on where you sit.

An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.

The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.

Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him.

Don't raise your voice, improve your argument.

Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.

Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.

Appearances often are deceiving.

One who loses wealth loses much. One who loses a friend loses more. But one who loses courage loses all.

Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.

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

There are two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.

If you place your head in a lion's mouth, then you cannot complain one day if he happens to bite it off.

I think, therefore I am.
