Nobody notices postmen, yet they have passions like other men.

Only poor men get hanged.

It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.

The modern city is ugly not because it is a city but because it is not enough of a city, because it is a jungle, because it is confused and anarchic, and surging with selfish and materialistic energies.

Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.

How much happier you would be, how much more of you there would be, if the hammer of a higher God could smash your small cosmos.

If you do not understand a man you cannot crush him. And if you do understand him, very probably you will not.
