“Money is the wise man’s religion.”

Worse than a true evil is it to bear the burden of faults that are not truly yours.

The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.

Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes angry.

Enough is abundance to the wise.

Surely again, to heal men’s wounds by music’s spell.

Some wisdom you must learn from one who’s wise.

Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses his past and is dead for the future.

It’s the wise man who stays home when he’s drunk.

We must take care of our minds because we cannot benefit from beauty when our brains are missing.

Let a man accept his destiny, No pity and no tears.

Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Authority is never without hate.

Money is far more persuasive than logical arguments.

For in other ways a woman is full of fear, defenseless, dreads the sight of cold steel; but, when once she is wronged in the matter of love, no other soul can hold so many thoughts of blood.

I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

The language of truth is simple.

I never knew any man in my life who could not bear another’s misfortunes perfectly like a Christian.

The most positive men are the most credulous.

The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.

The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into smaller states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them.

I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.

I have far more confidence in the one man who works mentally and bodily at a matter than in the six who merely talk about it.

No professional politician is ever actually in favor of public economy. It is his implacable enemy, and he knows it. All professional politicians are dedicated wholeheartedly to waste and corruption. They are the enemies of every decent man.

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle.
