Encouraging virtue is better than suppressing vice.

An apparent misfortune of man is that neither good nor evil is an agency itself; both are equally passive choices. Man himself is the ultimate agency. He has the power to realize and activate the dead options. Only then, that is, by the action of Will, good results in good and evil in evil.

Predictability is not how things will go, but how they can go.

The concept of Free Will makes no sense unless associated, somehow or the other, with Absolute Determinism; it is just as a man cannot walk without gravity arresting and spurring his pace simultaneously.

Desire is a great virtue, but expectation is an even greater vice.

I'd love to be what I have been.

Peace, love and beauty are goals shared by every human heart. The question is whether our minds recognize them as such.

We know the value of a blessing when we don't have it. But we only know the value of knowledge when we have enough of it.

Whenever we think, we construct a world that is centred upon the object of our thinking; whenever we act, we reconstruct a world that is centred upon ourselves.

We talk what we think but do what we believe.

Men marry. Women wed.

Friends; the more, the less!

A man of character can have what a man of intellect can imagine.

Intelligence seeks reasons behind things. Wisdom looks for things behind reasons.

Revenge is possible only if you spare the enemy.

The greatest tragedy with a sceptic is that he cannot consign himself to truth, however he may see it.

Hundreds of wise men cannot make the world a heaven, but one idiot is enough to turn it into a hell.

Learn, or you'll be made to learn.
