We confess to little faults only to persuade ourselves that we have no great ones.

Without properly kept accounts it is impossible to maintain truth in its pristine purity.

My experience has shown me that we win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.

It's frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot.
