Opportunity

Democracy means the opportunity to be everyone's slave

Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear

How is the world ruled and how do wars start? Diplomats tell lies to journalists and then believe what they read

The greatest pleasure I know is to do something by stealth and have it found out by accident

Let the devil catch you but by a single hair, and you are his forever

The worst thing you can possibly do is worrying and thinking about what you could have done

Where there is no property there is no injustice

Nature never makes excellent things for mean or no uses

The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time

Barking dogs seldom bite

Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers

Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away

Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could

And we are put on earth a little space that we may learn to bear the beams of love

Out of difficulties grow miracles

Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.

How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

Remember that lost time does not return.
