“Two passions have powerful influence on the affairs of men: the love of power and the love of money.”

“Truth and nonviolence are perhaps the activest forces you have in the world.”

“The concentrating of powers in the same hands is precisely the definition of despotic government. It will be no alleviation that these powers will be exercised by a plurality of hands, and not by a single one.”
