I go to a better tailor than any of you and pay more for my clothes. The only difference is that you probably don't sleep in yours.

Do I need to argue to Your Honor that cruelty only breeds cruelty? That hatred only causes hatred; that if there is any way to soften this human heart which is hard enough at its best, if there is any way to kill evil and hatred and all that goes with it, it is not through evil and hatred and cruelty; it is through charity, and love, and understanding?

Do you think you can cure the hatreds and the maladjustments of the world by hanging them? You simply show your ignorance and your hate when you say it. You may here and there cure hatred with love and understanding, but you can only add fuel to the flames by cruelty and hate.

I have always felt that doubt was the beginning of wisdom, and the fear of God was the end of wisdom.

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

Life is a never-ending school, and the really important lessons all tend to teach man his proper relation to the environment where he must live.
