It's the loneliest feeling in the world-to find yourself standing up when everybody else is sitting down. To have everybody look at you and say, 'What's the matter with him?' I know. I know what it feels like. Walking down an empty street, listening to the sound of your own footsteps. Shutters closed, blinds drawn, doors locked against you. And you aren't sure whether you're walking toward something, or if you're just walking away.

You see what a poor sinner I am, and how unworthy to possess what was given me; for that reason it has been taken away.

The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.

It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.

Abandon your animosities and make your sons Americans!

It is easier to make our wishes conform to our means than to make our means conform to our wishes.
