“To be nobly wrong is more manly than to be meanly right.”

“He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death.”

“When my country, into which I had just set my foot, was set on fire about my ears, it was time to stir. It was time for every man to stir.”

“Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. If she tears your heart to pieces – and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper – love her, love her, love her!”

“When a man vowed to nonviolence as the law governing human beings dares to refer to war, he can only do it so as to strain every nerve to avoid it.”

“If you travel the earth, you will find it is largely divided into two classes of people-people who say 'I wonder why such and such is not done" and people who say "Now who is going to prevent me from doing that thing?"”

“Said will be a little ahead, but done should follow at his heel.”

“Let's not go and ruin it by thinking too much.”
