“With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed.”
“In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.”
“Who can play without wanting to succeed even with a sentimentally gain?”
“If you are afraid to fail, then you are afraid to succeed. You can never succeed of you have not failed.”
“Can nothing be done for freedom because the public conscience is inert?”
“Nothing is more humiliating than to see idiots succeed in enterprises we have failed in.”
