I have never been able to conceive how any rational beingcould propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others.

Don'tjudge a book by its cover.

To believein something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

Old wood best of burn, old friend to trust and old authors to read.

Commonsense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.

Ifanyone is not willing to accept your point of view, try to see his point of view.

If your desires be endless, your cares and fears will be so too.

Personal responsibility is too fiscal accountability as lovemaking is to a gynaecological examination

There is no knowledge that is not power.

To sit alone in the lamp light with a book spread out before you-such is a pleasure beyond compare.

It is atrick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed,or not possible, to avoid making those that are required.
