|  Truth never comes into the world but like a bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her birth. | | The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. | | Though we take from a covetous man all his treasure, he has yet one jewel left; you cannot bereave him of his covetousness. | | Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe. | | He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king. | | No man who knows aught, can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free. | | Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties. | | He that has light within his own clear breast May sit in the centre, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sun; Himself his own dungeon. | | Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
