I go to a better tailor than any of you and pay more for my clothes. The only difference is that you probably don’t sleep in yours Picture Quote #1

Autobiography is never entirely true. No one can get the right perspective on himself. Every fact is colored by imagination and dream Picture Quote #1

If there is to be any permanent improvement in man and any better social order, it must come mainly from the education and humanizing of man Picture Quote #1

Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they are meant to serve Picture Quote #1

I am simply an agnostic. I haven’t yet had time or opportunity to explore the universe, and I don’t know what I might run on to in some nook or corner Picture Quote #1

You can’t get to a pleasant place to be at unless you use pleasant methods to get there. When you are dealing with a human society the means is fully as important as the end Picture Quote #1

Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the soul and brain of man Picture Quote #1

There is no such crime as a crime of thought; there are only crimes of action Picture Quote #1

With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in men, than any other association of men Picture Quote #1

Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the brain and soul of man. From him who will not give her all, she will have nothing. She knows that his pretended love serves but to betray. But when once the fierce heat of her quenchless, lustrous eyes have burned into the victim’s heart, he will know no other smile but hers Picture Quote #1

The time will come when all people will view with horror light way in which society and its courts of law now take human life; and when that time comes, the way will be clear to device some better method of dealing with poverty and ignorance and their frequent byproducts, which we call crime Picture Quote #1

I had a vivid imagination. Not only could I put myself in the other person’s place, but I could not avoid doing so. My sympathies always went out to the weak, the suffering, and the poor. Realizing their sorrows I tried to relieve them in order that I myself might be relieved Picture Quote #1

We are born and we die; and between these two most important events in our lives more or less time elapses which we have to waste somehow or other. In the end it does not seem to matter much whether we have done so in making money, or practicing law, or reading or playing, or in any other way, as long as we felt we were deriving a maximum of happiness out of our doings Picture Quote #1

Some false representations contravene the law; some do not. The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business, and, besides, could not be done. The line between honesty and dishonesty is a narrow, shifting one and usually lets those get by that are the most subtle and already have more than they can use Picture Quote #1
