More on Society
“The average man won't really do a day's work unless he is caught and cannot get out of it. There is plenty of work to do if people would do it.”
“Emancipation is the demand of civilization. That is a principle; everything else is an intrigue.”
“Our people are slow to learn the wisdom of sending character instead of talent to Congress. Again and again they have sent a man of great acuteness, a fine scholar, a fine forensic orator, and some master of the brawls has crunched him up in his hands like a bit of paper.”
More on Conformity
“We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against.”
“If you are influenced by the opinions of others, you will have no DESIRE of your own.”
“While to the claims of charity a man may yield and yet be free, to the claims of conformity no man may yield and remain free at all.”
