Force is not a remedy.

Men who rule by tricks of the mind need not necessarily be men in obvious power.

Don't mistake politeness for lack of strength.

It cannot be a vice in men to be sensible of their strength.

Never attempt to win by force what can be won by deception.

No man must think that the world was made for him.

Power does not consist in striking with force or with frequency, but in striking true.

Never initiate the use of force against another man. Never let his use of force against you remain unanswered by force.

Never test another man by your own weakness.

Force can overcome force, but a free society cannot long steel itself to dominate another people by sheer force.

No one should be subjected to force over things which belonged to him.

Dream not thou that force is power;
Nor, if thou hast a thought, and that thought sour
And sick, oh, dream not thought is wisdom!

let no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered. One may be a free man and yet be bound tighter than a slave. Give men your ear, but not your heart. Show respect for those in power, but don’t follow them blindly. Judge with logic and reason, but comment not

Don't judge a man by the tales of others.
