 If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country. |
| If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country. |
| It is a mistake to think that books have come to stay. The human race did without them for thousands of years and may decide to do without them again. |
| It is my fate and perhaps my temperament to sign agreements with fools. |
| It is the one orderly product our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths; it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden the best evidence we can give of our dignity. |

| Money pads the edges of things . . . |
| Most quarrels are inevitable at the time; incredible afterwards. |
