A man who says that no patriot should attack the war until it is over... is saying no good son should warn his mother of a cliff until she has fallen.

'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'

The word 'good' has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.

A businessman is the only man who is forever apologizing for his occupation.

You're the kind of man my mother warned me about.

Man seems to be capable of great virtues but not of small virtues; capable of defying his torturer but not of keeping his temper.
