“It is unfortunate to have views different from the rest of mankind. It secures abuse.”

“For there is in mankind an unfortunate propensity to make themselves, their views and their works, the measure of excellence in every thing whatsoever”

“You have always the same view from your window! For different views, visit other houses! And for different ideas, visit other minds!”

“Unfortunately for the betterment of mankind it is not always the fair-minded who are in the right.”

“Nobody is fit to rule anybody else. It is not alleged that Mankind is perfect, or that merely through his/her natural goodness (or lack of same) he/she should (or should not) be permitted to rule. Rule as such causes abuse. There are no superpeople nor privileged classes who are above 'imperfect Mankind' and are capable or entitled to rule the rest of us. Submission to slavery means surrender of life.”

“I'm not defending their views. I'm defending their right to have their views. There's a difference.”
