Writing is the geometry of the soul. - Plato

"Life must be lived as play."

"To conquer oneself is the best and noblest victory; to be vanquished by one's own nature is the worst and most ignoble defeat."

"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."

"The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life"

"In politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill... we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one."
