Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.

A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.

If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.

Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
