“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

"Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but has no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not"

"He who holds back rising anger like a rolling chariot, him I call a real driver; other people are but holding the reins"

"For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love."
