“It would be wrong to put friendship before the truth.”

“Quid quid movetur ab alio movetur"(nothing moves without having been moved).”

“Integrity has no need of rules.”

“It is evident, then, that there is a sort of education in which parents should train their sons, not as being useful or necessary, but because it is liberal or noble.”

“One should adpot only those situations in which one is in no need of sham virtues, but rather, like the tight-rope dancer on his tight rope, in which one must either fall or stand--or escape.”

“A fool has not stuff enough to make a good man.”

“It is far pleasanter to injure and afterwards beg forgiveness than to be injured and grant forgiveness. He who does the former gives evidence of power and afterwards of kindness of character.”

“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”
