5 No social stability without individual stability.

6 That all men are equal is a proposition, which, at ordinary times, no sane individual has ever given his assent.

7 Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.

8 The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
