“The zeal of friends it is that razes me, And not the hate of enemies.”

Live with your century; but do not be its creature.

Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.

A healthy nature needs no God or immortality.

Only through Beauty’s morning-gate, dost thou penetrate the land of knowledge.

Time is a blooming field: nature is ever teeming with life: and all is seed, and all is fruit.

The May of life blooms once and never again.

In the ardor of pursuit men soon forget the goal from which they start.

In the society, where people are just parts in a larger machine, individuals are unable to develop fully.

Appearance rules the world.

To know thyself- in others self-concern; Would’st thou know others? read thyself–and learn!

Illusion is brief, but repentance is long.

Votes should be weighed not counted.

He that is over-cautious will accomplish but very little.

In a narrow circle the mind grows narrow. The more one expands, the larger their aims.

A childlike mind in its simplicity practises that science of good to which the wise may be blind.

Individual character is in the right that is in strict consistence with itself. Self-contradiction is the only wrong.

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

To get rid of an enemy one must love him.

Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession.

Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting.

Take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.

Those skilled at making the enemy move do so by creating a situation to which he must conform; they entice him with something he is certain to take, and with lures of ostensible profit they await him in strength.

If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?? You are your own worst enemy! Once you overcome yourself, then no one can stop you.
