The poor man wishes to conceal his poverty, and the rich man his wealth: the former fears lest he be despised, the latter lest he be plundered.

Privilege is the greatest enemy of right.

He who believes in freedom of the will has never loved and never hated.

None are so eager to gain new experience as those who don't know how to make use of the old ones.

I've always been pretty indifferent towards the royal family. I went on a school trip once to Buckingham Palace, and all I can remember is that it was really boring.

I don't have children that I've lost in a bitter custody dispute. But I see an enormous wound in kids due to a lack of their dads.

Just as the child is father to the man, so the impressions of one's youth remain the most vivid in manhood.

My parents are always supportive of anything their kids do. They point out the pros and cons, but they let you make your own decisions, and when it's bad they stick by you.
