Whatever is considered beautiful, whatever is considered right; this we must examine. Whatever is beautiful, whatever is right; this we must aspire to. To these codes mankind does cling and to these we look for purpose.

If a truth exists in the midst of folly, may it be severed from and held up, that the folly would be more apparent.

If any man says that he is wise, and has no basis for his supposed wisdom, he has shown evidence of foolishness; all who are wise are so through their doings.

A man can not embark upon any journey without first admitting that he is not already there.

Words are wasted on humanity, actions are not.

Love is a wine; it can be poured out, sipped on, sampled, spit out, quaffed, instil drunkenness, create mistakes, change history or merely sit and age.

A man who does not drink is righteous but a man who boasts of his sobriety is drunk on a far more dangerous liquor.

To share in another's life is good, to share another's life with others is despicable.

Worry and panic are natural, so are plague and poison.

Respect, Amicability and Possession; these three things together are what we know to be love.

Life's value lies in its potency, not longevity.

Nothing accelerates forever, nothing decelerates forever and nothing remains in consistency forever, to grasp this and hold tight to it is to understand it in truth and to quit speculations entirely.
I have thought, and in thinking realized the room for error, and in realizing this, embrace it. In embracing error I admit to the knowledge that I know not where it lie.
