The man who can keep a secret may be wise, but he is not half as wise as the man with no secrets to keep.

What is common sense? That which attracts the least opposition that which brings most agreeable and worthy results.

Indignation does no good unless it is backed with a club of sufficient size to awe the opposition.

A religion that never suffices to govern a man will never suffice to save him; that which does not sufficiently distinguish one from a wicked world will never distinguish him from a perishing world.

If the fools do not control the world, it isn't because they are not in the majority.

A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man.
