“There is a fundamental conflict between intellectual and political life... The essence of the intellectual life is the impulse to analyze everything indiscriminately, to understand the explanations for everything. The essence of political success is the contrary habit. Whatever one's internal understanding of the world, one must train oneself never to express those conclusions needlessly, for they may offend. Truth must be offered up by teaspoons, always with a purpose.”

“Now there is discoverable in man, Freewill. His actions are of moral value to him if they are undertaken upon his own initiative; not if they are undertaken under compulsion. Therefore the use of choice is necessary to human dignity. A man deprived of choice is by that the less a man, and this we all show through the repugnance excited in us by unauthorized restraint and subjection, through coercion rather than authority, to another’s will. We cannot do good, or even evil, unless we do it freely; and if we admit the idea of good at all in human society, freedom must be its accompaniment.”
