The weak ones are there to justify the strong.

Old houses mended,<br> Cost little less than new before they ’re ended.

The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do.

People unfit for freedom - who cannot do much with it - are hungry for power. The desire for freedom is an attribute of a "have" type of self. It says: leave me alone and I shall grow, learn, and realize my capacities. The desire for power is basically an attribute of a "have not" type of self.

The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not.

Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life.

A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both.

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbors as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant of others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
