How far we travel in life matters far less than those we meet along the way.

Human pride is not worthwhile; there is always something lying in wait to take the wind out of it.

I'm glad I did it, partly because it was worth it, but mostly because I shall never have to do it again.

The silent colossal National Lie that is the support and confederate of all the tyrannies and shams and inequalities and unfairnesses that afflict the peoples — that is the one to throw bricks and sermons at.

Every man is in his own person the whole human race without a detail lacking....I knew I should not find in any philosophy a single thought which had not passed through my own head, nor a single thought which had not passed through the heads of millions and millions of men before I was born.

I have a religion-but you will call it blasphemy. It is that there is a God for the rich man but none for the poor.....Perhaps your religion will sustain you,will feed you-I place no dependence in mine. Our religions are alike, though, in one respect-neither can make a man happy when he is out of luck.

No sinner is ever saved after the first twenty minutes of a sermon.
