It is better to have no sight than it is to have no vision.

He who marries the spirit of the age soon becomes a widower.

Gullibility is the key to all adventures. The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything; it is he who gets the most out of life.

The foundation of society is laid upon a basis of . . . individualism, conquest and exploitation . . . A social order such as this, built upon such wrong and basic principles, is bound to retard the development of all.

Our democracy is but a name.

I think the degree of a nation's civilisation may be measured by the degree of enlightenment of its women.
