“Truly, to tell lies is not honorable;but when the truth entails tremendous ruin,to speak dishonorably is pardonable.”

“How dreadful the knowledge of the truth can be When there’s no help in truth.”

“How terrible-- to see the truth when the truth is only pain to him who sees!”

“When he endures nothing but endless miseries-- What pleasure is there in living the day after day, Edging slowly back and forth toward death?Anyone who warms their heart with the glow Of flickering hope is worth nothing at all. The noble man should either live with honor or die with honor. That's all there is to be said.”

“Never honor the gods in one breath and take the gods for fools the next.”

“That will come when it comes; we must deal with all that lies before us. The future rests with the ones who tend the future.”

“Do not believe that you alone can be right.The man who thinks that,The man who maintains that only he has the powerTo reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul—A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.”
