| We are under a Constitution, but the Constitution is what the judges say it is, and the judiciary is the safeguard of our property and our liberty and our property under the Constitution. |
| When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free. |
| A man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company. |

| War should be made a crime, and those who instigate it should be punished as criminals. |
| Men do not die from overwork. They die from dissipation and worry. |
