Tragedy is like strong acid - it dissolves away all but the very gold of truth.

Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie.

To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality.

One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant.

I want to be distinguished from the rest to tell the truth, a friend to all mankind is not a friend for me.
