There Is Hardly Any One So Insignificant

The Idea Of Freedom Is Quite In Accord With A General, Though Vague, Sentiment Among Us; It Is An Idea Of Fair Play, Of Giving Everyone A Chance; And Nothing Arouses More General And Active Indignation Among Our People Than The Belief That Some One Or Some Class Is Not Getting A Fair Chance.

It Is Partly To Avoid Consciousness Of Greed That We Prefer To Associate With Those Who Are At Least As Greedy As We Ourselves. Those Who Consume Much Less Are A Reproach.

A Man May Lack Everything But Tact And Conviction And Still Be A Forcible Speaker; But Without These Nothing Will Avail... Fluency, Grace, Logical Order, And The Like, Are Merely The Decorative Surface Of Oratory.

Every General Increase Of Freedom Is Accompanied By Some Degeneracy, Attributable To The Same Causes As The Freedom.

The Bashful Are Always Aggressive At Heart.
