Nothing is easier than self-deceit.For what every man wishes,that he also believes to be true.
As a vessel is known by the sound, whether it be cracked or not; so men are proved, by their speeches, whether they be wise or foolish.
Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.
Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law.
Nothing is easier than self-deceit.
Virtue begins with understanding and is fulfilled by courage.
