No great nation is ever conquered until it has destroyed itself.
Plato concluded to a suppression of all free reasoning, a conviction that philosophy must be destroyed in order that man may live. He himself would have been the first victim of his Utopias.
Usually the power of woman rises with the wealth of a society, for when the stomach is satisfied hunger leaves the field to love.
Contentment is as rare among men as it is natural among animals, and no form of government has ever satisfied its subjects.
Though myths may differ, reason remains the same, and the life of reason makes brothers of its lovers in all times, and everywhere.
Every conquest creates a new frontier, which, being exposed to danger, suggests further conquest.
When Dionysius asked Aristippus why philosophers haunt the doors of the rich, but the rich do not frequent the presence of philosophers, he replied: "Because the first know what they want but the second do not."
Since the victor must rule, it is a boon that the rules of his mastery should be clearly expressed; in this sense law is the consistency of power.
Skepticism is uncomfortable; it leaves the common heart and imagination empty, and the vacuum soon draws in some new and encouraging creed.
No man believes rulers when they allege conspiracy, unless the conspiracy succeeds.
Christianity was the last great creation of the ancient pagan world.
Tradition is the voice of time, and time is the medium of selection; a cautious mind will respect their verdict, for only youth knows better than twenty centuries.
Originality is not parthenogenesis; it is, like parentage, a novel combination of pre-existing elements.
Wealth itself, without the aid of philosophy, puts an end to puritanism and stoicism.
Idealism offends the senses, materialism offends the soul; the one explains everything but the world, the other everything but life.
Determinism does not imply indulgence; we must hold ourselves, and others, morally responsible for every action.
Exploitation of the weak by the strong is as natural as eating and differs from it only in rapidity; we must expect to find it in every age and under every form of society and government.
Only the noblest spirits can bear with equanimity the success of their friends.
The chief charm of the past is that we know we need not live it again.
