Peace, if possible, but justice at any rate.

Wants awaken intellect. To gratify them disciplines intellect. The keener the want the lustier the growth.

Political convulsions, like geological upheavings usher in new epochs of the world's progress.
moving progress world
The slowest of us cannot but admit that the world moves.
crazy destiny europe
There is nothing stronger than human prejudice. A crazy sentimentalism, like that of Peter the Hermit, hurled half of Europe upon Asia, and changed the destinies of kingdoms.

To be as good as our fathers, we must be better. Imitation is not discipleship. When some one sent a cracked plate to China to have a set made, every piece in the new set had a crack in it.

We measure genius by quality, not by quantity.

It is easy to be independent when all behind you agree with you, but the difficulty comes when nine hundred and ninety-nine of your friends think you are wrong.

The keener the want the lustier the growth.

What the Puritans gave the world was not thought, but action.
tables today tomorrow
What is fanaticism today is the fashionable creed tomorrow, and trite as the multiplication table a week after.
writing government people
Write on my gravestone: 'Infidel, Traitor.', infidel to every church that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses the people.
