We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man, man.

We read often with as much talent as we write.

Some men's words I remember so well that I must often use them to express my thought. Yes, because I perceive that we have heard the same truth, but they have heard it better.

You think that your silence on certain topics, perhaps in the face of injustice, or unkindness, or mean-spiritedness, causes others to reserve judgement of you. Far otherwise; your silence utters very loud: you have no oracle to speak, no wisdom to offer, and your fellow men have learned that you cannot help them. Doth not wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice? We would be well to do likewise.

Whence, then, this worship of the past? The centuries are conspirators against the sanity and authority of the soul.

America is a country of young men.

No man has a right perception of any truth, who has not been reacted on by it, so as to be ready to be its martyr.
