You must have plenty of sea-room to tell the truth in.

I have no objection to any person's religion, be it what it may, so long as that person does not kill or insult any other person, because that other person don't believe it also.

The worst of our evils we blindly inflict upon ourselves; our officers cannot remove them, even if they would.

Many sensible things banished from high life find an asylum among the mob.
