“And as to you, Sir, treacherous in private friendship and a hypocrite in public life, the world will be puzzled to decide whether you are an apostate or an impostor; whether you have abandoned good principles, or whether you ever had any.”

“It is always to be taken for granted, that those who oppose an equality of rights never mean the exclusion should take place on themselves.”

“The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.”

“A teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself.”

“Truth is more of a stranger than fiction.”

“People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.”

“Inside the polling booth every American man and woman stands as the equal of every other American man and woman. There they have no superiors. There they have no masters save their own minds and consciences.”

“Freedom is obedience to self-formulated rules.”
