Exceptions are not always the proof of the old rule; they can also be the harbinger of a new one.
From Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
Privilege is the greatest enemy of right.
Whenever two good people argue over principles, they are both right.
The poor man wishes to conceal his poverty, and the rich man his wealth: the former fears lest he be despised, the latter lest he be plundered.
We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don't care for.
Nobody knows enough, but many know too much.
Conquer, but don't triumph.
Those who understand only what can be explained understand very little.
Parents forgive their children least readily for the faults they themselves instilled in them.
None are so eager to gain new experience as those who don't know how to make use of the old ones.
