Men were not intended to work with the accuracy of tools, to be precise and perfect in all their actions.

No good work whatever can be perfect, and the demand for perfection is always a sign of a misunderstanding of the ends of art

An infinitude of tenderness is the chief gift and inheritance of all truly great men.

The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.

Great men do not play stage tricks with the doctrines of life and death: only little men do that.

Men don't and can't live by exchanging articles, but by producing them. They don't live by trade, but by work. Give up that foolish and vain title of Trades Unions; and take that of laborers Unions.
