Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.

A bitter thing cannot be made sweet. The taste of anything can be changed. But poison cannot be changed into nectar.

A Reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.

Wise and prudent men - intelligent conservatives - have long known that in a changing world worthy institutions can be conserved only by adjusting them to the changing time.

I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking.

The anchor of all my dreams is the collective wisdom of mankind as a whole.
