Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too

To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered

I know of no great men except those who have rendered great service to the human race

We are rarely proud when we are alone

Prejudice is an opinion without judgment
