Difference of religion breeds more quarrels than difference of politics.

Action breeds inspiration more than inspiration breeds action.

It's hard to talk about them (politics and religion) in a way that doesn't anger people, and I often make people angry, ... I'm trying to do it as inoffensively as possible, and it shouldn't be offensive. It should be what we talk about.

Politics is but the common pulse-beat, of which revolution is the fever-spasm.

A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.

I'm a writer more than I am a talker.
