There are some men formed with feelings so blunt that they can hardly be said to be awake during the whole course of their lives.

When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.

Contempt is not a thing to be despised. It may be borne with a calm and equal mind, but no man, by lifting his head high, can pretend that he does not perceive the scorns that are poured down on him from above.

There is no safety for honest men, but by believing all possible evil of evil men, and by acting with promptitude, decision, and steadiness on that belief.

Dogs are indeed the most social, affectionate, and amiable animals of the whole brute creation.

Evil succeeds when good men do nothing

Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.
