The Greatest Problem For The Human Species,

One Cannot Avoid A Certain Feeling Of Disgust, When One Observes The Actions Of Man Displayed On The Great Stage Of The World. Wisdom Is Manifested By Individuals Here And There; But The Web Of Human History As A Whole Appears To Be Woven From Folly And Childish Vanity, Often, Too, From Puerile Wickedness And Love Of Destruction: With The Result That At The End One Is Puzzled To Know What Idea To Form Of Our Species Which Prides Itself So Much On Its Advantages.

From Such Crooked Wood As That Which Man Is Made Of, Nothing Straight Can Be Fashioned.

There Is Nothing Higher Than Reason.

Live Your Life As Though Your Every Act Were To Become A Universal Law.

Act In Such A Way That You Will Be Worthy Of Being Happy.
