Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
Anger begins in folly, and ends in repentance
As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.
As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom.
Begin thus from the first act, and proceed; and, in conclusion, at the ill which thou hast done, be troubled, and rejoice for the good.

Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.
Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.
