There is little more powerful than when truth joins action.

Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded, and so therefore, it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.

Truth is often the favorite tool of those who deceive.

Suffering is one of life's great teachers.

Within the hearts men, loyalty and consideration are esteemed greater than success.

One column of truth cannot hold an institution of ideas from falling into ignorance. It is wiser that a person of prudence and purpose save his strength for battles that can be won.

One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.

Sometimes power is all a person has, so they will protect it even unto their own destruction, for without power they have nothing.

True love is quiescent, except in the nascent moments of true humility.

Knowledge is that possession that no misfortune can destroy, no authority can revoke, and no enemy can control. This makes knowledge the greatest of all freedoms.

Many openly show discontentment with their looks, but few with their intelligence. I, however, assure you there are many more plain minds than faces.

Human intelligence may not be the best trick nature has to offer.

Emotion is often what we rely upon to carry us across the unfathomable voids in our intelligence.

It is better to have a fair intellect that is well used than a powerful one that is idle.

An intelligent person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in his understanding of things.

The realities of the world seldom measure up to the sublime designs of human imagination.

The greatest joys are found not only in what we do and feel, but also in what we hope for.

Truth is not a matter of fact but a state of harmony with progress and hope. Enveloped only in its wings will we ever soar to the promise of our greater selves.

Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for.

Curiosity is one of the great secrets of happiness.
