It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
 
It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
 
It is as hard for the good to suspect evil, as it is for the bad to suspect good. 
 
My thinking is first and last and always for the sake of my doing.
 
Shared pain is lessened; shared joy, increased — thus do we refute entropy.
 
Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
 
In times when the government imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also the prison.
 
There are two ways to slice easily thorugh life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking.
 
The very desire to be certain, to be secure, is the beginning of bondage. It's only when the mind is not caught in the net of certainty, and is not seeking certainty, that it is in a state of discovery.
 
What is the point of being educated, of learning to read and write, if you are just going to carry on like a machine? But that is what your parents want, and it is what the world wants. The world does not want you to think, it does not want you to be free to find out, because then you would be a dangerous citizen, you would not fit into the established pattern.

Freedom means freedom at every level, right through, and to think only along a particular line is not freedom.

All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.
 
Sometimes you can observe a lot by watching. 
 
We argue so much today about 'democracy' versus 'totalitarianism'. Democracy presupposes intelligence of the masses;* totalitarianism does not to the same degree. But a 'democracy' without intelligence of the masses under modern conditions can be a worse human mess than any dictatorship could be.
 
More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason.
 
It has often been argued that absolute scepticism is self-contradictory; but this is a mistake: and even if it were not so, it would be no argument against the absolute sceptic, inasmuch as he does not admit that no contradictory propositions are true. Indeed, it would be impossible to move such a man, for his scepticism consists in considering every argument and never deciding upon its validity; he would, therefore, act in this way in reference to the arguments brought against him.
 
Hope, deceitful as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route.
