From My Point Of View, He Can Be Called A Remarkable Man Who Stands Out From Those Around Him By The Resourcefulness Of His Mind, And Who Knows How To Be Restrained In The Manifestations Which Proceed From His Nature, At The Same Time Conducting Himself Justly And Tolerantly Towards The Weaknesses Of Others.

If A Man Could Understand All The Horror Of The Lives Of Ordinary People Who Are Turning Around In A Circle Of Insignificant Interests And Insignificant Aims, If He Could Understand What They Are Losing, He Would Understand That There Can Only Be One Thing That Is Serious For Him - To Escape From The General Law, To Be Free. What Can Be Serious For A Man In Prison Who Is Condemned To Death? Only One Thing: How To Save Himself, How To Escape: Nothing Else Is Serious.

Nothing Can Be Attained Without Suffering But At The Same Time One Must Begin By Sacrificing Suffering.

Without Self Knowledge, Without Understanding The Working And Functions Of His Machine, Man Cannot Be Free, He Cannot Govern Himself And He Will Always Remain A Slave.

We Must Strive For Freedom If We Strive For Self-knowledge. The Task Of Self-knowledge And Of Further Self-development Is Of Such Importance And Seriousness, It Demands Such Intensity Of Effort, That To Attempt It Any Old Way And Amongst Other Things Is Impossible. The Person Who Undertakes This Task Must Put It First In His Life, Which Is Not So Long That He Can Afford To Squander It On Trifles.
