Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker it breeds contempt for law it invites every man to become a law unto himself it invites anarchy.

He that does good to another does good also to himself.

Wisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.

A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.

Richard Nixon is a no good lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and if he ever caught himself telling the truth he'd lie just to keep his hand in.

If there is dissatisfaction with the status quo good. If there is ferment so much the better. If there is restlessness I am pleased. Then let there be ideas and hard thought and hard work. If man feels small let man make himself bigger.

The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others the more he benefits himself The more he gives to others the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.

A man who was completely innocent offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others including his enemies and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.

A man has to live with himself and he should see to it that he always has good company.

He must pull out his own eyes and see no creature before he can say he sees no God He must be no man and quench his reasonable soul before he can say to himself there is no God.

An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.

A man is truly free even here in this embodied state if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.

Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.

Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values... God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.
