I believe in the discipline of silence, and could talk for hours about it.

Women are not angels. They are as foolish as men in many ways; but they have had to devote themselves to life whilst men have had to devote themselves to death; and that makes a vital difference in male and female religion. Women have been forced to fear whilst men have been forced to dare: the heroism of a woman is to nurse and protect life, and of a man to destroy it and court death.

We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.

Power doesn't corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.

Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
