“What! because we are poor Shall we be vicious?”

“If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.”

“If we lose all of our wealth and are only left with love then, indeed, we shall never be poor.”

“the country of the poor can be abandoned no longer. For i dread what is growing in that country now. I fear we shall reap a venomous crop”

“IF we desire European civilization to be a raid and a rescue, we shall insist rather that souls are in real peril than that their peril is ultimately unreal. And if we wish to exalt the outcast and the crucified, we shall rather wish to think that a veritable God was crucified, rather than a mere sage or hero. Above all, if we wish to protect the poor we shall be in favour of fixed rules and clear dogmas. The rules of a club are occasionally in favour of the poor member. The drift of a club is always in favour of the rich one.”

“We love the morning, because we know that there will be night soon! We love the night, because we know that there will be morning soon! Who loves the morning if there shall be no night? Who loves the night if there shall be no morning?”
