Tolerance is the virtue of those who don't believe anything.

They said that I should lose my ideals and begin to believe in the methods of practical politicians. Now, I have not lost my ideals in the least; my faith in fundamentals is exactly what it always was. What I have lost is my childlike faith in practical politics.

Just the other day in the Underground I enjoyed the pleasure of offering my seat to three ladies.

Faith is always at a disadvantage; it is a perpetually defeated thing which survives all conquerors.

Lord! what a strange world in which a man cannot remain unique even by taking the trouble to go mad!

It is very foolish of a man to be frightened of a skeleton, for Nature has put an insurmountable obstacle against running away from it.

If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it; for in many ways his mind moves all the quicker for not being delayed by the things that go with good judgment.
