Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.
From Democritus
Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.
It is better to destroy one's own errors than those of others.
Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains.
Hope of ill gain is the beginning of loss.
It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all.
It is godlike ever to think on something beautiful and on something new.
Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.
