John Jay Chapman
  • Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.

  • The world of politics is always twenty years behind the world of thought.

  • Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself.

  • Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same - hardihood. Give them raw truth.
