Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.

Misattributed

Truth springs from argument amongst friends.

Misattributed

The role of reason is not to make us wise but to reveal our ignorance

Misattributed

The difference between a man who is led by opinion or emotion and one who is led by reason. The former, whether he will or not, performs things of which he is entirely ignorant; the latter is subordinate to no one, and only does those things which he knows to be of primary importance in his life, and which on that account he desires the most; and therefore I call the former a slave, but the latter free.
