If you tie a man's hands there is nothing moral about his not committing murder.

Do you not see, first, that - as a mental abstract - physical force is directly opposed to morality; and secondly, that it practically drives out of existence the moral forces?

You will not make a man wiser by taking freedom of action from him. A man can only learn when he is free to act.

We hold that what one man cannot morally do, a million men cannot morally do, and government, representing many millions of men, cannot do.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

I venture to prophesy that there lies before us a bitter and an evil time.
