Politics Is Organized Hatred, That

Nothing Is More Injurious To The Character And To The Intellect Than The Suppression Of A Generous Emotion.

Good Government Is The Outcome Of Private Virtue.

If American Politics Does Not Look To You Like A Joke, A Tragic Dance; If You Have Enough Blindness Left In You, On Any Plea, On Any Excuse, To Vote For The Democratic Party Or The Republican Party (for At Present Machine And Party Are One), Or For Any Candidate Who Does Not Stand For A New Era, -- Then You Yourself Pass Into The Slide Of The Magic-lantern; You Are An Exhibit, A Quaint Product, A Curiosity Of The American Soil. You Are Part Of The Problem.

Benevolence Alone Will Not Make A Teacher, Nor Will Learning Alone Do It. The Gift Of Teaching Is A Peculiar Talent, And Implies A Need And A Craving In The Teacher Himself.

A Political Organization Is A Transferable Commodity. You Could Not Find A Better Way Of Killing Virtue Than By Packing It Into One Of These Contraptions Which Some Gang Of Thieves Is Sure To Find Useful.
