"You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can get with a kind word alone."

"To sum up: it is wrong always, everywhere, and for
anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.
If a man, holding a belief which he was taught in
childhood or persuaded of afterwards, keeps down and
pushes away any doubts which arise about it in his mind,
purposely avoids the reading of books and the company of
men that call in question or discuss it, and regards as
impious those questions which cannot easily be asked
without disturbing it-the life of that man is one long sin
against mankind."

"I am, by calling, a dealer in words; and words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."

"Those who 'abjure' violence can do so only because others are committing violence on their behalf."

"The loneliest people are the kindest.
The saddest people smile the brightest.
The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they don’t want to see anyone else suffer the way they do."

"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names."

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.
