Never stand in the way of letting God use people’s actions, in order to solve a greater issue in the world.

You can't always expect people to apply your wisdom when they didn't use wisdom before they found themselves knee deep in their version of justice.

Our actions are neither so good nor so evil as our impulses

The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.

Hypocrisy, the lie, is the true sister of evil, intolerance, and cruelty.

The daggers of silence last longer than anything ever spoken.
