Truth Is One Forever Absolute, But Opinion

Government Arrogates To Itself That It Alone Forms Men. Everybody Knows That Government Never Began Anything. It Is The Whole World That Thinks And Governs.

There Is A Very Broad Theory That Society Gets The Right To Hang, As The Individual Gets The Right To Defend Himself. Suppose She Does; There Are Certain Principles Which Limit This Right. Society Has Got The Murderer Within Four Walls; He Never Can Do Any More Harm. Has Society Any Need To Take That Man's Life To Protect Itself? If Any Society Has Only The Right That The Individual Has, She Has No Right To Inflict The Penalty Of Death, Because She Can Effectually Restrain The Individual From Ever Again Committing His Offence.

Revolutions Are Not Made, They Come.

Society,--the Only Field Where The Sexes Have Ever Met On Terms Of Equality, The Arena Where Character Is Formed And Studied, The Cradle And The Realm Of Public Opinion, The Crucible Of Ideas, The World's University, At Once A School And A Theater, The Spur And The Crown Of Ambition, The Tribunal Which Unmasks Pretension And Stamps Real Merit, The Power That Gives Government Leave To Be, And Outruns The Lazy Church In Fixing The Moral Sense Of The Eye.

How Prudently Most Men Creep Into Nameless Graves, While Now And Then One Or Two Forget Themselves Into Immortality.
