"All the persecutors declare against each other..." - Quote by Voltaire

“You are very harsh.' 'I have seen the world.”

“The public is a ferocious beast; one must either chain it or flee from it.”

“All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.”

“When all is said and done, and statesmen discuss the future of the world, the fact remains that people fight these wars.”

“He who works for his own interests will arouse much animosity”

“Contention, like a horse,Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose,And bears down all before him.”

“Because we're Jewish, my father immigrated to Holland in 1933, where he became the managing director of the Dutch Opekta Company, which manufactures products used in making jam.”

“Persecution cannot harm him who stands by Truth. Did not Socrates fall proudly a victim in body? Was not Paul stoned for the sake of the Truth? It is our inner selves that hurt us when we disobey it, and it kills us when we betray it.”

“Do not, however, mistake me. It is not to my good friend's heresy that I impute his honesty. On the contrary, 'tis his honesty that brought upon him the character of a heretic.”
