“Manners are the happy ways of doing things.”

“The good judge is not he who does hair-splitting justice to every allegation, but who, aiming at substantial justice, rules something intelligible of the guidance of suitors.”

“The farmer after sacrificing pleasure, taste, freedom, thought, love, to his work, turns out often a bankrupt, like the merchant.This result might well seem astounding. All this drudgery, from cockcrowing to starlight, for all these years, to end in mortgages and the auctioneer's flag, and removing from bad to worse. It is time to have the thing looked into, and with a sifting criticism ascertained who is the fool.”

“You can't disrespect the love. You can't disrespect the peace treaty.”

“When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities.”

After this I knew that I could no longer speak against the violence in the ghettos without also speaking against the violence of my government.”

“Never do wrong when people are looking.”

“To kill, I grant, is sin's extremest gust;But, in defence, by mercy, 'tis most just.”

“Morality is contraband in war.”
