The best way to understand somebody else is to put yourself in his place.

The truth is that brains have little to do with either the making or accumulating of money.

I had a vivid imagination. Not only could I put myself in the other person's place, but I could not avoid doing so. My sympathies always went out to the weak, the suffering, and the poor. Realizing their sorrows I tried to relieve them in order that I myself might be relieved.

It may never come, but I fancy than no man who has sympathy for the human race does not wish that sometime those who labor should have the whole product of their toil. Probably it will never come, but I wish that the time might come when men who work in the industries would own the industries.

Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they are meant to serve.

Nothing is so loved by tyrants as obedient subjects.

I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
