The nature of a society is largely determined by the direction in which talent and ambition flow - by the tilt of the social landscapes

It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak

What greater reassurance can the weak have than that they are like anyone else?

Man is the only creature that strives to surpass himself, and yearns for the impossible

We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves

Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.
