«Whenever I hear people talking about liberal ideas, I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal; it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive. The proper place for liberality is in the realm of the emotions.»
«To hard necessity ones will and fancy must conform.»
«The people who are absent are the ideal; those who are present seem to be quite commonplace.»
