THE SENSE OF LIFE

Great men embark on great enterprises, because they know these are great, fools undertake them because they think they are easy

Only superficial people judge people by appearances

Many a person is good only because they lack opportunity to be bad

He who is capable of thinking does so even in the middle of a contradiction

All those incapable of learning go into teaching

It is impossible to say or write a lot without producing a lot of shoddy work

Ignorance is a steep descent at the bottom of which are sharp rocks

Believe me, it is exceptional to be normal

If i sleep or die my world ends with me, but that of others continues

There are two kinds of stories, those that are true, and those that should be

Culture is more a question than answering

Evolution is nothing but the fulfilment of the possibilties of one type of life

It is love for oneself that decides each time and not the attention of others

A small certainty is better than a big lie

It is difficult to find happiness within ourselves, impossible to find it elsewhere

Everyone considers  the sins that he does not commit to be ugly, and those that he does to be light

A thing is not necessarily true just because a man died accomplishing it

It is always with the best intentions that one comes up with the worst works

Youth suffers more from the caution of the elderly than from their own errors

Life has a goal: the fulfillment of that which is already implict at birth

Sad is the diciple twho does not surpass his master

It is love for oneself that decides each time and not the attention for others

He who does not value life does not deserve it

Nothing decieves us more than our own judgement

Only the weak are afraid of being infulenced

Nothing decieves us more than our own judgement

Why is not a good question, not why, but what

Happiness does not lie in knowledge itself, but in aquiring knowledge

Incomptence manifests itself with the use of too many words

Ignorance cannot be excused, only treated

The wisdom of a person only half educated is more harmful to science then the dullness of the uneducated

Men and nations act rationally only after having exhausted all other possibilities

The truth of a statement has nothing to do with its credibility, and vice versa

It is easier to be fooled than to fool

Nobody is interested in or understands what someone else is doing

Most people deserve one another

Virtue is the punishment of itself

To err is human, to blame others is even more so

The sum of intelligence on Earth is constant; it is the population that increases

Don't worry about what others think of you. they're too busy worrying about what you think of them

If you help a friend in need, he will not forget you the next time he is in need
