“Pilate was merciful till it became risky.”

“A prince should suspect everything.”

“The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.”

“Justice Stevens is one of those who are most sensitive to the least powerful in our society.”

“If you demand my authorities for this and that, I must reply that only those who have never hunted up the authorities as I have believe that there is any authority who is not contradicted flatly by some other authority.”
