You come before me this morning with clean hands and clean collars. I want you to have clean tongues, clean manners, clean morals and clean characters.

I am only doing now what I have ever done; and ever will continue to do - that is adapting past experience to present reform in the light of high ideals and future objects.

For the moment and for some time great events have been denied me, forward action not come my way.

Books are a real solace, friendships are good but action is better than all.

Don't hustle old people.

I recognise that Socialism has ended its purely theoretical course, and that the hour to construct has come.

I don't want to be married. I don't know - it sounds crazy, but in my mind, it's all connected. You get married, you have kids, you grow old, then you die. Somehow, it seems to me, if you didn't get married, you wouldn't die.
