Man is the cruelest animal
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule
No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone
The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself
Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty
In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies
Experience fails to teach where there is no desire to learn
Life is and will ever remain an equation incapable of solution, but it contains certain known factors
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself
