"The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear."
"Every civilization rests on a set of promises... If the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how rich it may be, or how mechanically clever. Hope and faith depend on promises; if hope and faith go, everything goes."
"Man tends to treat all his opinions as principles."
