“Never question another man's motive. His wisdom, yes, but not his motives.”
“Over the years I had convinced myself that brutality required motive, but this is a fool’s deceit. Cruelty is the motive; religion and politics and resources are simply the cloth man weaves to curtain his desires for violence.”
“We must never forget that human motives are generally far more complicated than we are apt to suppose, and that we can very rarely accurately describe the motives of another.”
“Man will never be stronger nor independent ifhe lives under perpetual motivation of others.”
“I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused.”
“When considering a man's motives, remember you must not measure his wheat with your bushel. He may not be using the same standard at all.”
