“Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.”

“All that one gains by falsehood is, not to be believed when he speaks the truth.”

“My suspicious nature is that there's something that [ Reverend ] Galamison, about Galamison that must have some good in it or some right in it.”

“He who denies his own vanity usually possesses it in so brutal a form that he instinctively shuts his eyes to avoid the necessity of despising himself.”

“You'd be surprised at the things people will do in order to get their names or pictures in the paper.”

“What can everyone do? Praise and blame. This is human virtue, this is human madness.”
