“A superior man in dealing with the world is not for anything or against anything. He follows righteousness as the standard.”

“In his dealings with the world, the gentleman is not invariably for or against anything. He is on the side of what is moral.”

“The stage is not only a world apart, it is a myriad of worlds, and in those worlds a man can have anything he fancies, if only he believes in what he sees.”

“Man is not defiled by his impurities. It is the other man pointing out his impurities to him, whom he is defiled by. Is there anything anyone can do, to become righteous, anyway? God made us impure. If he had a problem with that, He would have made us gods, instead.”

“He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do anything.”

“That's the trouble with you preachers," he said. "You've all got too good to believe in anything," and he drove off with a look of disgust and righteousness.”
