When hopes and dreams are loose in the streets, it is well for the timid to lock doors, shutter windows and lie low until the wrath has passed.

A low capacity for getting along with those near us often goes hand in hand with a high receptivity to the idea of the brotherhood of men.

We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means, we hang on to them and often forget the ends.

There is always a chance that he who sets himself up as his brother's keeper will end up by being his jail-keeper.

He who has nothing and wants something is less frustrated than he who has something and wants more.

Where freedom is real, equality is the passion of the masses. Where equality is real, freedom is the passion of a small minority.

To spell out the obvious is often to call it in question.
