“There are a good many fools who call me a friend, and also a good many friends who call me a fool”

“I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle”

“A puritan is a person who pours righteous indignation into the wrong things”

“Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable”
