We continue to think of new things in old ways.

Partisanship is our great curse. We too readily assume that everything has two sides and that it is our duty to be on one or the other.

We are incredibly heedless in the formation of our beliefs, but if someone tries to take them from us, we defend them with almost an illicit passion.

There is nothing else anything like so interesting to ourselves as ourselves.

History ... may be regarded as an artificial extension and : broadening of our memories and may be used to overcome the natural bewilderment of all unfamiliar situations.

Man has long found solace in good talk to offset bad conduct.

Each of us is great insofar as we perceive and act on the infinite possibilities which lie undiscovered and unrecognized about us.
