If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

Some suggestions for you :

Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.

Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice.

If there is not a new man, how can the new clothes be made to fit? If you have any enterprise before you, try it in your old clothes.

The Artist is he who detects and applies the law from observation of the works of Genius, whether of man or Nature. The Artisan is he who merely applies the rules which others have detected.

Love must be as much a light as it is a flame.

I feel as if I were nearer to the vitals of the globe, for this sandy overflow is something such a foliaceous mass as the vitals of the animal body.

There must be some nerve and heroism in our love, as of a winter morning.

The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?

I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.

As for doing good; that is one of the professions which is full. Moreover I have tried it fairly and, strange as it may seem, am satisfied that it does not agree with my constitution.

My friend is one... who take me for what I am.

There will never be a really free and enlightened state until the state comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived.

Thu luxury of one class is counterbalanced by the indigence of another.
