A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things.

El hombre nunca sabe qué debe querer, porque vive sólo una vida y no tiene modo de compararla con sus vidas precedentes ni de enmendarla con sus vidas posteriores.

If a man never contradicts himself, the reason must be that he virtually never says anything at all.

He was a man who was charged with the work he did in life because he was not one to ask questions - not so much on account of any natural quality of discretion as because he simply could never think of any questions to ask.
...
On the strength of which he had guaranteed himself regular employment for as long as he cared to live.

A man without words is a man without thought.

A man who has no conscience, no goodness, does not suffer.

A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.

But man, because he has only one life to live, cannot conduct experiments to test whether to follow his passion (compassion) or not.

Nothing matters to a man who says nothing matters,

What they, in their innocence, cannot comprehend is that a properly constituted, healthy, decent man never writes, acts, or composes.

Indeed it may be said with some confidence that the average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. There are moments when his cogitations are relatively more respectable than usual, but even at their climaxes they never reach anything properly describable as the level of serious thought. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of clichés. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over eighty per cent. of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought. That is to say, they never think anything that has not been thought before and by thousands.

He who believes needs no explanation.

I never ask a man what his business is, for it never interests me. What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams.

Never question another man's motive. His wisdom, yes, but not his motives.
