In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility.

Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves.

The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much.

We damaged all the big guns we could, and carried away the powder and the lead.

Going home must be like going to render an account.

It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.
