Anticipate charity by preventing poverty.

To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.

Our homeland is the whole world. 

Our law is liberty. 

We have but one thought, 

revolution in our hearts.

I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.

If you're old, 

don't try to change yourself, 

change your environment.

The end of science is not to prove a theory, 

but to improve mankind.

Happiness always looks small 

while you hold it in your hands, 

but let it go, 

and you learn at once 

how big and precious it is.

Maybe that's what life is... 

a wink of the eye and winking stars.

All the choir of heaven and furniture of earth 

— in a word, all those bodies which compose the frame of the world — 

have not any subsistence without a mind.

Aphorisms are the true form of the universal philosophy.

A word is not a crystal, 

transparent and unchanged; 

it is the skin of a living thought 

and may vary greatly in colour and content 

according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.

What do you despise? 

By this you are truly known.

If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, 

you have to find the courage to live it.

Adults are obsolete children.

When dictatorship is a fact, 

revolution becomes a right.
