Honor Is An Old-world Thing; But It

Petty Laws Breed Great Crimes.

[on Christianity:] Its Lip-service And Its Empty Rites Have Made It The Easiest Of All Tasks For The Usurer To Cloak His Cruelties, The Miser To Hide His Avarice, The Lawyer To Condone His Lies, The Sinner Of All Social Sins To Purchase The Social Immunity From Them By Outward Deference To Churches.

There Is No Applause That So Flatters A Man As That Which He Wrings From Unwilling Throats.

There Is No Knife That Cuts So Sharply And With Such Poisoned Blade As Treachery.

Take Hope From The Heart Of Man, And You Make Him A Beast Of Prey.
