If you would thoroughly know anything teach it to others

The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvellously

Never look down on someone unless you re helping them up

Flattery is like cologne water to be smelt not swallowed

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it

I met a lot of people in Europe I even encountered myself

If you smile when no one else is around you really mean it

Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less

Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction

If I could do everything then there d be no reason for hope

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh

Successful diplomacy is an alignment of objectives and means

It s not dying for faith that s so hard it s living up to it

Dressed in the lion s skin the ass spread terror far and wide

We are born princes and the civilizing process makes us frogs
