One of the most difficult tasks people can perform, however much others may despise it, is the invention of good games.

That I feed the hungry, forgive an insult, and love my enemy.... these are great virtues.
But what if I should discover that the poorest of the beggars and the most impudent of offenders are all within me, and that I stand in need of the alms of my own kindness; that I myself am the enemy who must be loved?  What then?

The wise man who is not heeded is counted a fool, and the fool who proclaims the general folly first and loudest passes for a prophet and Führer, and sometimes it is luckily the other way round as well, or else mankind would long since have perished of stupidity.

The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.

Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.
