“A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit”

“There are only two forces that unite men - fear and interest”

“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”

“Society is the union of men and not the men themselves”

“We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them”

“If men would consider not so much where they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling in the world”
