“Heavens! whatever possesses us, here below, that we mutually torment ourselves, sourly reproach our mutual faults, and mercilessly condemn all that is not cut according to our pattern?”

“The greatest problem in the world today is intolerance. Everyone is so intolerant of each other.”

“Thriftless ambition, that wilt ravin up Thine own life's means!”
“I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice.”
