The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready he is to claim all excellence for his nation, his religion, his race or his holy cause

Förträfflighet

There is a tendency to judge a race, a nation or any distinct group by its least worthy members

The nature of a society is largely determined by the direction in which talent and ambition flow - by the tilt of the social landscapes

It is not so much the example of others we imitate as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words

The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do

The benevolent despot who sees himself as a shepherd of the people still demands from others the submissiveness of sheep

A nation without dregs and malcontents, is orderly, decent, peaceful and pleasant, but perhaps without the seed of things to come

The real "haves" are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others of them

Our greatest weariness comes from work not done

The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon. No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion- it is an evil government.

Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear. Thus a feeling of utter unworthiness can be a source of courage.

There is a totalitarian regime inside every one of us. We are ruled by a ruthless politburo which sets our norms and drives us from one five-year plan to another. The autonomous individual who has to justify his existence by his own efforts is in eternal bondage to himself.
