Truth

To give a 
satisfactory decision as to 
the truth 
it is necessary to be 
rather an arbitrator 
than a party to the dispute

Equality

The only stable state is 
the one in which 
all men are equal 
before the law..

Virtue and nature

The moral virtues, 
then, are produced in us 
neither by nature 
nor against nature. 
Nature, indeed, 
prepares in us 
the ground for 
their reception, 
but their complete formation is 
the product of habit

Joke

The gods too are 
fond of a joke

The aim of Art

The aim of art 
is to represent 
not the outward 
appearance of things, 
but their inward 
significance

Poverty

Poverty is the 
parent of 
revolution and crime

Profession

Pleasure in the job 
puts perfection 
in the work..

Concept of Life

One swallow does not 
make a summer, 
neither does one fine day; 
similarly one day or 
brief time of happiness 
does not make a person 
entirely happy

Branding

Men acquire a particular quality 
by constantly acting 
a particular way. 
you become 
just by performing just actions, temperate by performing 
temperate actions, 
brave by performing 
brave actions.

Good and bad

Man perfected by society 
is the best of all animals; 
he is the most terrible 
of all when 
he lives without law, 
and without justice..

Laws

Law is mind without reason

Young generation

It is unbecoming for 
young men 
to utter maxims

The Educated mind

I

It is the mark of an 
educated mind to be 
able to entertain 
a thought 
without accepting it

Justice and Society

It is in justice
that the 
ordering of society
is centered..

Purification Hunt

If some animals are 
good at hunting
and others are 
suitable for hunting
then the Gods must clearly
Smile on Hunting...

Humor

Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit

Dispute

How many a dispute could have been
deflated into 
single paragraph,if the
disputants had dared
to define their terms..

Happiness

Happiness depends upon
Ourselves

Education

Education is the 
best provision
for the journey 
to old age...

Dignity

Dignity consists 
not in possessing honors, 
but in the 
consciousness  
that we deserve them
