“Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them.

The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.”

Let social busybodies and professional "public morals experts" in their fads reflect upon the perils they rashly invite under this pretense of social welfare.”

In each person there is something good and something bad; we usually see only the vices in people and we see nothing that is good.”
