"No matter how you seem to fatten..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The cheapness of man is every day's tragedy.”

“Our young people are diseased with the theological problems of original sin, origin of evil, predestination, and the like. These never presented a practical difficulty to any man,--never darkened across any man's road, who did not go out of his way to seek them. These are the soul's mumps, and measles, and whooping- coughs, and those who have not caught them cannot describe their health or prescribe a cure. A simple mind will not know these enemies.”

“Wise men are not wise at all hours, and will speak five times from their taste or their humor, to once from their reason.”

“There is no outward sign of true courtesy that does not rest on a deep moral foundation.”

“Ce que je sais de la morale, c'est au football que je le dois. (I know of morality, it is football that I owe.)”

“If however the law is so promulgated that it of necessity makes you an agent of injustices against another, then I say to you ... break the law.”

“...the administration of the law can never go lax where every individual sees to it that it grows not lax in his own case, or in cases which fall under his eyes.”

“To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.”

“Every beggar shall be arrested. But to arrest a beggar merely in order to put him in jail would be barbarous and absurd. He should be arrested for the sole purpose of teaching him how to earn a living by his work.”
