“Ugly deeds are most estimable when hidden.”

“The principles of pleasure are not firm and stable. They are different in all mankind, and variable in every particular with such a diversity that there is no man more different fromanother than from himself at different times.”

“What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?”

“Socialists cry “Power to the people”, and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean - power over people, power to the State.”

“Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.”

“An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.”

“For a fallen India to aspire to move the world and protect the weaker races is seemingly an impertinence.”

“What a heartbreaking job it is trying to combine authors for their own protection... the first lesson I learned was that when you take the field for the authors you will be safer without a breastplate than without a backplate.”

“No .... holy father, throw away that thought.Believe not that the dribbling dart of loveCan pierce a complete bosom.”
