Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.

I have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men.

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was born with a knowledge of God.

Things that I felt absolutely sure of but a few years ago, I do not believe now. This thought makes me see more clearly how foolish it would be to expect all men to agree with me.

Old men are dangerous: it doesn't matter to them what is going to happen to the world.
