“There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains.”

“Nothing should be permitted to stand in the way of the preservation of the forests, and it is criminal to permit individuals to purchase a little gain for themselves through the destruction of forests when this destruction is fatal to the well-being of the whole country in the future.”

“From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens.”

“To speak well of a base man is much the same as speaking ill of a good man.”

“My tastes are aristocratic, my actions democratic.”

“I know that man who forsakes Truth can forsake his country and his nearest and dearest ones.”

“Individual liberty and interdependence are both essential for life in society.”

“A free citizen in a free state, it seems to me, has an inalienable right to play with whomsoever he will, so long as he does not disturb the general peace. If any other citizen, offended by the spectacle, makes a pother, then that other citizen, and not the man exercising his inalienable right, should be put down by the police.”

“For, in order to turn the individual into a function of the State, his dependence on anything beside the State must be taken from him.”
