The quotes below are from a paper on Aphorisms and Leader's Rhetoric. Here is a summary of that paper.
The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool. Santayana… What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Holmes… He that is proud eats up himself; pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle. Shakespeare… I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat”. Churchill... Prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue. Bacon... Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him. Emerson... Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least. Goethe... The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact. T. H. Huxley... If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind. J. S. Mill... He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Nietzsche... There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. Wilde… He who by reanimating the old can gain knowledge of the new is fit to be a teacher. Confucius
