Why is thought being a secretion of brain, more wonderful than gravity a property of matter? It is our arrogance, our admiration of ourselves.

Of all the peoples of Europe, Spaniards disgust me the least.

No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time.

If you let your head get too big, it'll break your neck.

The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.

Any failure traceable to arrogance or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt, both at home and abroad.
