There are many faiths, but the spirit is one, in me, in you, and in every man.

A Gentleman is a man who will pay his gambling debts even when he knows he has been cheated.

Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings, and also experience them.

The recognition of the sanctity of the life of every man is the first and only basis of all morality.

Man recognizes that he will not die, only when he recognizes that he was never born, but always has been, is, and will be.

In order to obtain and hold power, a man must love it.
