When men know not what to do, they ought not to do they know not what

I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic.

Great learning and superior abilities...will be of little value and small estimation unless virtue, honor, truth, and integrity are added to them.

The house shakes...with the roar of the cannon. No sleep for me tonight.

History is not a web woven with innocent hands. Among all the causes which degrade and demoralize men, power is the most constant and most active.

Dark and sour humours, especially those which have a spice of malevolence in them, are vastly disagreeable. Such men have no music in their souls.

If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice, or representation.
