There is no insanity so devastating in mans life as utter sanity.

Greatness, generally speaking, is an unusual quantity of a usual quality grafted upon a common man.

I have never been bored an hour in my life. I get up every morning wondering what new strange glamorous thing is going to happen and it happens at fairly regular intervals.

A little learning is not a dangerous thing to one who does not mistake it for a great deal.

I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today!

Whoever tramples on the plea for justice temperately made in the name of peace only outrages peace and kills something fine in the heart of man which God put there when we got our manhood.

Consistency is the paste jewel that only cheap men cherish.

Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.

Liberty is the only thing you can't have unless you give it to others.
