If four magnitudes be proportional, the rectangle contained by the extremes is equal to the rectangle contained by the means.

A circle is a plane figure contained by one line such that all the straight lines falling upon it from one point among those lying within the figure are equal to one another.

If a straight line be cut into two equal parts and also into two unequal parts, the rectangle contained by the unequal parts together with the square on the line between the points of section is equal to the square on the half.

If a straight line touch a circle, and from the point of contact there be drawn across in the circle a straight line cutting the circle, the angles which it makes with the tangent will be equal to the angles in the alternate segments of the circle.

In isosceles triangles the angles at the base are equal to one another, and, if the equal straight lines be produced further, the angles under the base will be equal to one another.

If a straight line fall on two parallel straight lines, it makes the alternate angles equal to one another, the exterior angle equal to the interior and opposite angle, and the interior angles on the same side equal to two right angles.

In any triangle, if one of the sides be produced, the exterior angle is equal to the two interior and opposite angles, and the three interior angles of the triangle are equal to two right angles.

When a straight line set up on a straight line makes the adjacent angles equal to one another, each of the equal angles is right, and the straight line standing on the other is called a perpendicular to that on which it stands.

Of trilateral figures, an equilateral triangle is that which has its three sides equal, an isosceles triangle that which has two of its sides alone equal, and a scalene triangle that which has its three sides unequal.

If two triangles have two sides equal to two sides respectively, and have the angles contained by the equal straight lines equal, they will also have the base equal to the base, the triangle will be equal to the triangle, and the remaining angles wil…

To rule by fettering the mind through fear of punishment in another world is just as base as to use force.

As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom.

The square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Educate the children and it won't be necessary to punish the men.

The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I. Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under t…

The happy life is to be found in the mind's freedom from disturbance.

Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.
