Our true passions are selfish.

If you don't stand up for yourselves$$$ how can you stand up for anybody else?

We learn most where we know the least.

For how can you remember the feel of pleasure or pain or choking emotion? You can remember only that you had them.

In poverty she is envious. In riches she may be a snob. Money does not change the sickness$$$ only the symptoms.

No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.

Wherever people feel safe$$$ they will be indifferent.

Time exists in order that everything doesn't happen all at once and space exists so that it doesn't all happen to you.

Seek to learn constantly while you live; do not wait in the faith that old age by itself will bring wisdom.

The ancient Oracle said that I was the wisest of all the Greeks. It is because I alone$$$ of all the Greeks$$$ know that I know nothing.
