Self-respect To Be Nourished In

There Can Be No Passion, And By Consequence No Love, Where There Is Not Imagination.

Study With Desire Is Real Activity; Without Desire It Is But The Semblance And Mockery Of Activity.

Obey; This May Be Right; But Beware Of Reverence.... Government Is Nothing But Regulated Force; Force Is Its Appropriate Claim Upon Your Attention. It Is The Business Of Individuals To Persuade; The Tendency Of Concentrated Strength, Is Only To Give Consistency And Permanence To An Influence More Compendious Than Persuasion.

It Is Absurd To Expect The Inclinations And Wishes Of Two Human Beings To Coincide, Through Any Long Period Of Time. To Oblige Them To Act And Live Together Is To Subject Them To Some Inevitable Potion Of Thwarting, Bickering, And Unhappiness.

Our Judgment Will Always Suspect Those Weapons That Can Be Used With Equal Prospect Of Success On Both Sides.
