Religious persecutors are not believers, they are rascals.
Virtue is a state of war, and to live in it we have always to combat with ourselves.
We are born, so to speak, twice over; born into existence, and born into life; born a human being, and born a man.
What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?
Whoever blushes is already guilty; true innocence is ashamed of nothing.
