The Truthful Man Is Usually

For Me Writing Biographies Is Impossible, Unless They Are Brief And Concise, And These Are, I Feel, The Most Eloquent.

I Intend To Leave After My Death A Large Fund For The Promotion Of The Peace Idea, But I Am Skeptical As To Its Results.

I Regard Large Inherited Wealth As A Misfortune, Which Merely Serves To Dull Men's Faculties. A Man Who Possesses Great Wealth Should, Therefore, Allow Only A Small Portion To Descend To His Relatives. Even If He Has Children, I Consider It A Mistake To Hand Over To Them Considerable Sums Of Money Beyond What Is Necessary For Their Education. To Do So Merely Encourages Laziness And Impedes The Healthy Development Of The Individual's Capacity To Make An Independent Position For Himself.

Lawyers Have To Make A Living, And Can Only Do So By Inducing People To Believe That A Straight Line Is Crooked.

The Savants Will Write Excellent Volumes. There Will Be Laureates. But Wars Will Continue Just The Same Until The Forces Of The Circumstances Render Them Impossible.
