Our philosophy is that we care about people first.

Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.

Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price.

Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them.

Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

When one does away with oneself one does the most estimable thing possible: one thereby almost deserves to live.

Nothing in the universe is contingent, but all things are conditioned to exist and operate in a particular manner by the necessity of the divine nature.

Let us work without theorizing, tis the only way to make life endurable.

Dying is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.

No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.

Nothing that was worthy in the past departs; no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die.

Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all things.

Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.

No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

Then not only custom, but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice, and that justice is equality.

The utmost extent of man’s knowledge, is to know that he knows nothing.

Only on the edge of the grave can man conclude anything.

The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

Bad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone… Bad food is fake food… food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people’s ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives.

Everything in excess is opposed to nature.

The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone.

Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago.

I have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men.

But if nothing but soul, or in soul mind, is qualified to count, it is impossible for there to be time unless there is soul, but only that of which time is an attribute, i.e. if change can exist without soul.

The supernatural is the natural not yet understood.

We should not say that one man’s hour is worth another man’s hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time’s carcass.

Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.

As is the case with most people in this game, I am driven by financial motives and creative motives; the question I had to answer is which motive I will give priority to?

How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another in the waking state?

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

There is but an inch of difference between a cushioned chamber and a padded cell.

I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one’s memories.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Nature puts no question and answers none which we mortals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution.
