"Morality for the upper classes, the gallows..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“God is on the side with the best artillery”

“Good intelligence is nine-tenths of any battle.”

“The laws of circumstance are abolished by new circumstances.”

“The tyranny of the many would be when one body takes over the rights of others, and then exercises its power to change the laws in its favor.”

“The majority of the men of the North, and of the South and East and West, are not men of principle. If they vote, they do not sendmen to Congress on errands of humanity; but while their brothers and sisters are being scourged and hung for loving liberty,... it is the mismanagement of wood and iron and stone and gold which concerns them.”

“Death may beget life, but oppression can beget nothing other than itself.”

“There are two distinct classes of men - those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes.”

“Morals are a luxury of the rich.”

“It is brought home to you...that it is only because miners sweat their guts out that superior persons can remain superior.”
