Bekind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

There is no knowledge that is not power.

Nothingstrengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individualresponsibility.

Another form of wastefulness is expenditure of words beyond the income of ideas.

Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used toprotect the innocent.

Parents these days scarcely bring up children; they finance them.

Happinessis the only sanction of life; where happiness fails, existence remains a madand lamentable experiment.

The exercise of power is determined by thousands ofinteractions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, allthe more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyonehas a small part of himself in both.

A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledgeincreases strength.

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.

No one is free who does not Lord over himself.

Are youreally listening... or are you just waiting for your turn to talk?
