Truly an amazing thinker often on a grand scale who could express great ideas in simple powerful words. Here are a few quotes I have gathered here I found useful...
"It does not prove a thing to be right because the majority say it is so."
"Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain."
"Art is the daughter of freedom."
"Keep true the dreams of your youth."
"The greater part of humanity is too much harassed and fatigued by the struggle with want, to rally itself for a new and sterner struggle with error."
"There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny."
"It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases."
"Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays."
"Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing."
"Revenge is barren of itself: it is the dreadful food it feeds on; its delight is murder, and its end is despair."
"A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished."
"To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it is divine."
"The jest loses its point when he who makes it is the first to laugh."
