"Let your desires be ruled by reason...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Time obliterates the fictions of opinion and confirms the decisions of nature.”

“Honourable mention encourages science, and merit is fostered by praise.”

“An ancient custom obtains force of nature.”

“Whatever you ardently and passionately desire, that you obtain.”

“Enough of these phrases, conceit and metaphors,I want burning, burning, burning.”

“Certainly all "progressive" thought, has assumed tacitly that human beings desire nothing beyond ease, security, and avoidance of pain... Hitler, because in his joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings don't only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags and loyalty-parades. However they may be as economic theories, Fascism and Nazism are psychologically far sounder than any hedonistic conception of life.”

“It is reasonable that everyone who asks justice should do justice”

“Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so secures tranquility.”

“Reason is a very light rider, and easily shook off.”
