A friend married is a friend lost.

I believe that, before all else, I'm a human being, no less than you.

I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.

Different people have different duties assigned them by Nature; Nature has given one the power or the desire to do this, the other that. Each bird must sing with his own throat.

I am sticking as closely to my subject as I can; for my subject is precisely this, that it is the masses, the majority

Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing

But I almost think we are all of us ghosts. It is not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that “walks” in us. It is all sorts of dead ideas, and lifeless old beliefs, and so forth. They have no vitality, but they cling to us all the same, and we cannot shake them off. Whenever I take up a newspaper, I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines.
