Half The World's Troubles Come From Men

An Audience Of Twenty Thousand, Sitting On Its Hands, Could Not Have Produced Such An Echoing Silence.

We Persians Have A Saying That One Should Deliberate Serious Matters First Drunk, Then Sober.

All Tragedies Deal With Fated Meetings; How Else Could There Be A Play? Fate Deals Its Stroke; Sorrow Is Purged, Or Turned To Rejoicing; There Is Death, Or Triumph; There Has Been A Meeting, And A Change. No One Will Ever Make A Tragedy - And That Is As Well, For One Could Not Bear It - Whose Grief Is That The Principals Never Met.

All Men Seek Esteem; The Best By Lifting Themselves, Which Is Hard To Do, The Rest By Shoving Others Down, Which Is Much Easier.

It Is Better To Believe In Men Too Rashly, And Regret, Than Believe Too Meanly. Men Could Be More Than They Are, If They Would Try For It. He Has Shown Them That.
