Real nobility is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.

We are the carriers of health and disease - either the divine health of courage and nobility or the demonic diseases of hate and anxiety

To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.

The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
