Image
The law is a great thing,--because men are poor and weak, and bad. And it is great, because where it exists in its strength, no tyrant can be above it.

Image
A Minister can always give a reason and, if he be clever, he can generally when doing so punish the man who asks for it. The punishing of an influential enemy is an indiscretion but an obscure questioner may often be crushed with good effect.

Speeches easy to young speakers are generally very difficult to old listeners.

Let a man be of what side he may in politics, unless he be much more of a partisan than a patriot, he will think it well that there should be some equity of division in the bestowal of crumbs of comfort.

When you have done the rashest thing in the world it is very pleasant to be told that no man of spirit could have acted otherwise.

Why is it that when men and women congregate, though the men may beat the women in numbers by ten to one, and through they certainly speak the louder, the concrete sound that meets the ears of any outside listener is always a sound of women's voices?
