May 27


Very often, all of the activity of the human mind is directed not in revealing the truth, but in hiding the truth. The potential of the human mind to act this way is our major source of temptation.

The court jury has, as its raison d’étre, the task of preserving society as it exists now, and therefore, it persecutes and executes those who stands higher than the general level of society, and it serves those who are lower than the general level.

A man cannot do everything; but this cannot be an excuse for doing bad things.
— Henry David Thoreau

I love peasants and farmers; they are not scholarly enough not educated enough to tell sophisticated lies.
— Charles De Montesquieu

If you see that an action is explained by a very sophisticated reasoning, then you can be sure that this action is bad. The decisions of the conscience are always strict and simple.
