America Will Never Be Destroyed From The Outside

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

It is better to conquer our grief than to deceive it

I do not at all believe in human freedom in the philosophical sense... Schopenhauer’s saying, ‘A man can do what he wants, but not will what he wants,’ has been a very real inspiration to me since my youth; it has been a continual consolation in the face of life’s hardships, my own and others’, and an unfailing wellspring of tolerance. This realization mercifully mitigates the easily paralyzing sense of responsibility and prevents us from taking ourselves and other people too seriously; it is conducive to a view of life which, in part, gives humour its due.

If you live according to nature, you will never be poor; if you live according to opinion, you will never be rich

Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves

To dwell on the things that depress or anger us does not help in overcoming them. One must knock them down alone.
