We must believe the things We teach our children

Never attempt to murder a man who is committing suicide.

At every crisis in one's life, it is absolute salvation to have some sympathetic friend to whom you can think aloud without restraint or misgiving.

What every man seeks is satisfaction. He deceives himself so long as he imagines it to lie in self-indulgence.

A presidential campaign may easily degenerate into a mere personal contest, and so lose its real dignity. There is no indispensable man.

When you come into the presence of a leader of men, you know that you have come into the presence of fire - that it is best not uncautiously to touch that man - that there is something that makes it dangerous to cross him.

I believe in Democracy because it releases the energies of every human being.
