Great Men Are Almost Always Bad Men.

The Possession Of Unlimited Power Corrodes The Conscience, Hardens The Heart, And Confounds The Understanding.

When You Perceive A Truth, Look For The Balancing Truth.

I Exhort You Never To Debase The Moral Currency Or To Lower The Standard Of Rectitude, But To Try Others By The Final Maxim That Governs Your Own Lives, And To Suffer No Man And No Cause To Escape The Undying Penalty Which History Has The Power To Inflict On Wrong.

By Liberty I Mean The Assurance That Every Man Shall Be Protected In Doing What He Believes To Be His Duty Against The Influences Of Authority And Majorities, Custom And Opinion.

The True Guide Of Our Conduct Is No Outward Authority, But The Voice Of God, Who Comes Down To Dwell In Our Souls, Who Knows All Our Thoughts, To Whom Are Owing All The Truth We Know, And All The Good We Do; For Vice Is Voluntary, And Virtue Comes From The Grace Of The Heavenly Spirit Within.
