“All are one.”

It is better to hide ignorance, but it is hard to do this when we relax over wine.

The road up and the road down is one and the same.

The nature of things is in the habit of concealing itself.

Wisdom is one thing, to know how to make true judgment, how all things are steered through all things.

Day by day, what you do is who you become.

People ought to fight to keep their law as to defend the citys walls.

Wisdom consists in speaking and acting the truth.

Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.

Because it is so unbelievable, the Truth often escapes being known.

Stupidity is better kept a secret than displayed.

Nothing is, everything is becoming.

The Cosmos was not made by gods but always was and is eternal fire.

History is a child building a sandcastle by the sea, and that child is the whole majesty of man’s power in the world.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny – it is the light that guides your way.

Greater dooms win greater destinies.

Fire lives in the death of earth, air lives in the death of fire, water lives in the death of air, and earth in the death of water.

It’s her black wings that make her beautiful.

Perhaps some are confused because they have stereotypes of how blacks should be and I respectfully decline, as I did in my youth, to sacrifice who I am for who they think I should be.

You didn’t think of angels as white or black. They were angels.

She was a restless soul, born with black wings and gypsy heart.

The courts are so willing to assume that anything that is predominantly black must be inferior. The mere fact that a school is black does not mean that it is the product of an unconstitutional violation.

When you look at where the real problems are among minorities in our society, particularly blacks, it’s at the bottom. It’s the people who are in school systems that don’t educate, neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime, drugs, the whole bit.

The myths that are created about the South, about the way we grew up, about black people, are wrong.

Today’s Constitution is a realistic document of freedom only because of several corrective amendments. Those amendments speak to a sense of decency and fairness that I and other Blacks cherish.
