Silence Is One Of The Great Arts

Not To Have Knowledge Of What Happened Before You Were Born Is To Be Condemned To Live As A Child.

Everyone Has The Obligation To Ponder Well His Own Specific Traits Of Character. He Must Also Regulate Them Adequately And Not Wonder Whether Someone Else's Traits Might Suit Him Better. The More Definitely His Own A Man's Character Is, The Better It Fits Him.

To Be Ignorant Of What Occurred Before You Were Born Is To Remain Always A Child. For What Is The Worth Of Human Life, Unless It Is Woven Into The Life Of Our Ancestors By The Records Of History?

Few Are Those Who Wish To Be Endowed With Virtue Rather Than To Seem So.

Any Man Can Make Mistakes, But Only An Idiot Persists In His Error.
