Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most impressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be saturated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease to exist at death.
As a rule, we find what we look for; we achieve what we get ready for.
Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.
There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.
