The World is Round and Water is Wet!

To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway

Rejoice not at thine enemy's fall - but don't rush to pick him up either.

Reveal not every secret you have to a friend, for how can you tell but that friend may hereafter become an enemy. And bring not all mischief you are able to upon an enemy, for he may one day become your friend.

You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true

A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
