I am a man of principle, and one of my basic principles is flexibility.
Some of my friends support the measure, and some of my friends oppose it. I support my friends.
Dignity comes not from control, but from understanding who you are and taking your rightful place in the world.
You can either hold yourself up to the unrealistic standards of others, or ignore them and concentrate on being happy with yourself as you are.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Against stupidity the gods themselves struggle in vain. (Mit der Dummheit kaempfen Goetter selbst vergebens)
