Reason is God's crowning gift to man.

I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the State.

One soul is enough, I know, to pay the debt for thousands, if one will go to the gods in all good faith.

Quick decisions are unsafe decisions.

There is nothing more hateful than bad advice.

To me so deep a silence portends some dread event; a clamorous sorrow wastes itself in sound.

Do not grieve yourself too much for those you hate, nor yet forget them utterly.
