The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.
From Aristotle
The soul never thinks without a picture.
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.
In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.
Some animals are cunning and evil-disposed, as the fox; others, as the dog, are fierce, friendly, and fawning. Some are gentle and easily tamed, as the elephant; some are susceptible of shame, and watchful, as the goose. Some are jealous and fond of ornament, as the peacock.
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.
Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.
