Intelligence is so damn rare and the people who have it often have such a bad time with it that they get bitter or propagandistic and then it's not much use.

It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.

But goodness alone is never enough. A hard$$$ cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil.

Some people insist that 'mediocre' is better than 'best.' They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none.

Once a month$$$ some women act like men act all the time.

Of all losses$$$ time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed.

If you don't like yourself$$$ you can't like other people.

I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak.

Destiny is a good thing to accept when it's going your way. When it isn't$$$ don't call it destiny; call it injustice$$$ treachery$$$ or simple bad luck.

Revere those things beyond science which really matter and about which it is so difficult to speak.
