Famous dead men are favorites to quote; they’ll say almost anything they are made to.

It is important to learn from others, but you can only be yourself if you resist imitations.

Everyone is a unique individual until they stop thinking for themselves and become mere sponges; it is then that they fade and become everybody else.

Abetting the wicked by revealing secrets is a greater evil than lying to them.

Those who utterly forsake the truth have no moral authority to demand it from others.

Most of those in power maintain it under the pretense of solving problems they create.

The victories of the wicked only serve to deliver them over to what they fear the most.

The common ground of fools is not an intellectual deficiency but the rejection of reality.

When nothing is absolute, conclusions are subjective; when everything is absolute, conclusions are predetermined.

Though often disregarded, it remains true: the wicked lose even when they win, and the righteous win even when they lose.

Sometimes, it is the one who is destined to fail who is greater than the one who will succeed. It is easy to fight when success is a certainty. But to go into a battle knowing that the only victory will be a statement of principle—that takes courage.

Lies may consist solely of facts; the crux of a lie is not merely its fabrication but its intent and false impression.

Emotions do not think; they are the product of thought; they petition and incite. They either provide a foundation for reason or reject reason altogether. They can serve for the better, or they can rule for the worse. They can give generously, or they can take away with cruelty. They disperse love or sow hatred. They can be your friend or your greatest foe.

The compassion of evil serves only to make it all the more evil.

A pretense of goodness is more dangerous than an outright embrace of evil.

Good will always exist wherever hope in it does; hope creates goodness, and goodness, hope.

To ignore evil is to give it a haven; to defend evil is to facilitate it; but to embrace evil is to become it.

No one remains the same after a traumatic experience; what remains is a choice between becoming stronger or weaker because of it.

The greatest contributions to humanity have not come from the inventions of inventors or the discoveries of scientists, nor from the charities of philanthropists, but from words of compassion and the helping hands in the daily lives of common people.

Faith is a belief; reason is a process to arrive at a belief. Once a belief is established, one’s reason will serve one’s faith.

The fertilizers of selfishness and weakness grow evil.

Where the wicked rule, ‘peace‘ may be crueler than war

Hope is confined to time; otherwise it is merely a vain imagination.

Some things have some worth, but the only thing with the fullness of worth is love.

The sun is life-giving; nonetheless, constant sunlight scorches that which is tender.

In the midst of performing great obligations, giving time to the smallest ones evidences love.

It is odd when people talk to themselves, even more so when they answer themselves back; however, arguments are not a good sign.

When tomorrow takes the stand, it will testify against yesterday and today.

Evil is not power; it is weakness posing as power in those who have been overcome.
