“He who is a firstling is ever sacrificed.”

“Who has not for the sake of his reputation sacrificed himself?”

“He who is punished is never he who performed the deed. He is always the scapegoat.”

“Not he is great who can alter matter, but he who can alter my state of mind.”

“Everyone who has ever built anywhere a new heaven first found the power thereto in his own hell.”

“He who speaks a bit of a foreign language has more delight in it than he who speaks it well; pleasure goes along with superficial knowledge.”

“He who obeys, does not listen to himself!”
