There are two things that kill a genius - a fatal disease and contentment.

I am a friend of the working man, and I would rather be his friend, than be one.

I have lived my life, and I have fought my battles, not against the weak and the poor - anybody can do that - but against power, against injustice, against oppression, and I have asked no odds from them, and I never shall.

People in this world are not often logical.

No man is a good citizen, a good neighbor, a good friend, or a good man just because he obeys the law. The intrinsic worth is determined mainly by the intrinsic make-up.

Laws have come down to us from old customs and folk-ways based on primitive ideas of man's origin, capacity and responsibility.

In spite of all the yearnings of men, no one can produce a single fact or reason to support the belief in God and in personal immortality.
