“It is said that a rogue does not look you in the face, neither does an honest man look at you as if he had his reputation to establish.”

“Smearing good people like Lauchlin Currie [former administrative assistant to President Roosevelt], Alger Hiss and others is, I think, unforgiveable...

“In the Fiji islands, it appears, cannibalism is now familiar. They eat thier own wives and children. We only devour widows' houses, and great merchants outwit and absorb the substance of small ones, and every man feeds on his neighbor's labor if he can. It is a milder form of cannibalism.”

“If this country is ever demoralized, it will come from trying to live without work.”

“One may no more live in the world without picking up the moral prejudices of the world than one will be able to go to hell without perspiring.”
