The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be either good or evil.

Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.

Man's chief moral deficiency appears to be not his indiscretions but his reticence.

Man cannot be free if he does not know that he is subject to necessity, because his freedom is always won in his never wholly successful attempts to liberate himself from necessity.

Power and violence are opposites; where the one rules absolutely, the other is absent. Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course it ends in power's disappearance.
