In philosophers themselves we seem always able to notice some deep internal correspondence between the man and his philosophy.

Suffering is just about the easiest of all human activities; being happy is just about the hardest. And happiness requires, not surrender to guilt, but emancipation from guilt.

Lies don't make you happy. They just make you lie about being happy.

To bind one free man with love is better than to release a thousand slaves.

Vengeance against predators is meals on wheels.
