"Great men have all been formed either..." - Quote by Voltaire

“War is the greatest of all crimes; and yet there is no aggressor who does not color his crime with the pretext of justice.”

“Love truth, but pardon error.”

“One of the chief misfortunes of honest people is that they are cowardly.”

“He who hangs on the errors of the ignorant multitude, must not be counted among great men.”

“Silence is a solvent that destroys personality, and gives us leave to be great and universal.”

“The measure of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.”

“Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students.”

“Once the white man let the Negro get an education, the Negro began to want what the white man has. But he let Negroes get an education and now they are demanding integration; they want to have exactly what he has. And the white man is not going to give it to them!”

“Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.”
