I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.

True progress happens when we dare to question the status quo.

True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

You should avoid sloth and unreliability.

The best way to get out of a situation is to never get into it in the first place.
