Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.

If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance.

Nothing is so productive of greatness of mind as the ability to examine systematically and truthfully each thing we encounter in life, and to see these things in such a way as to comprehend the nature of the Cosmos.

..a man cannot lose a thing if he has it not.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed.

For outward show is a wonderful perverter of the reason.

Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.

A man should be upright, not be kept upright.
