“Decency cannot be discussed without indecency!”

“We love to hear some men speak, though we hear not what they say; the very air they breathe is rich and perfumed, and the sound of their voices falls on the ear like the rustling of leaves or the crackling of the fire. They stand many deep.”

“Only that which does not teach, which does not cry out, which does not condescend, which does not explain, is irresistible.”

“A gentleman may love like a lunatic, but not like a beast.”

“An opponent is entitled to the same regard for his principles as we would expect others to have for ours. Non-violence demands that we should see every opportunity to win over opponents.”

“I learned that to humiliate another person is to make him suffer an unnecessarily cruel fate. Even as a boy, I defeated my opponents without dishonoring them.”
