"Right is right only when entire...." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“Give to a being the useless, and deprive him of the needful, and you have the gamin.”

“Where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and which has the wider vision?”

“Popularity - a piece of faded tinsel, that is out of date.”

“The people we have employed in an undertaking that has turned out badly should be doubly rewarded.”

“The immigrant must not be allowed to drift or to be put at the mercy of the exploiter. Our object is not to imitate one of the older racial types, but to maintain a new American type and then to secure loyalty to this type. We cannot secure such loyalty unless we make this a country where men shall feel that they have justice and also where they shall feel that they are required to perform the duties imposed upon them.”

“No greater wrong can ever be done than to put a good man at the mercy of a bad, while telling him not to defend himself or his fellows; in no way can the success of evil be made surer or quicker.”

“And in the general hardening of outlook that set in ... practices which had been long abandoned ... -- imprisonment without trial, the use of war prisoners as slaves, public executions, torture to extract confessions, the use of hostages and the deportation of whole populations -- not only became common again, but were tolerated and even defended by people who considered themselves enlightened and progressive.”

“Tolerance obviously does not disturb the distinction between right and wrong, or good and evil.”

“If our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.”
