There is nothing like looking$$$ if you want to find something.

Power over others is weakness disguised as strength.

Amongst civilized nations revolts are rarely excited$$$ except by such persons as have nothing to lose by them;

Nothing conceivable is so petty$$$ so insipid$$$ so crowded with paltry interests$$$ in one word$$$ so anti-poetic$$$ as the life of a man in the United States.

False hopes are more dangerous than fears.

There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult - to begin a war and to end it.

Nowadays most men lead lives of noisy desperation.

There is no safety in numbers$$$ or in anything else.

It is useless to attack a man who could not be controlled even if conquered$$$ while failure would leave us in an even worse position.
