“Thus says the fool: "Association with men spoils the character, especially when one has none.”
“Character and ideals are catching. When you associate with men who aspire to the highest and best, you expose yourself to the qualities that make men great.”
“The small meannesses bred by the law of competition corrode men's character as rust spoils steel.”
“What good was speaking when I'd determined none of the world listened to one another, especially not when a woman was speaking.”
“Wise men speak when they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something”
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.”
