"To be sure I must; and therefore..." - Quote by Plato

“He who is gracious to his lover under the impression that he is rich, and is disappointed of his gains because he turns out to be poor, is disgraced all the same: for he has done his best to show that he would give himself up to any one's "uses base" for the sake of money; but this is not honourable.”

“Is virtue something that can be taught?”

“Pepper is small in quantity and great in virtue.”

“If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost; you can still call him vile names.”

“I think self-expression is present at all times, and whether or not you're talking about the outside world or your responses to it depends on the moment and the subject.”

“My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don't share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise.”

“Even the most despotic government cannot stand except for the consent of the governed.... Immediately the subject ceases to fear the despotic force, his power is gone.”

“Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals.”

“Your very silence shows you agree.”
