Men trust their ears less than their eyes.
Halicarnassus, Turkey
Very few things happen at the right time, and the rest do not happen at all. The conscientious historian will correct these defects.
Of all men's miseries the bitterest is this: to know so much and to have control over nothing.
Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.
It is not truth that makes man great, but man that makes truth great.
