Quote

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

The devil's most devilish when respectable

So free we seem, so fettered fast we are

One should never risk a joke, even of the mildest and most unexceptional charters, except among people of culture and wit

Avoid lawsuits beyond all things; they pervert your conscience, impair your health, and dissipate your property

If I had listened to the critics I'd have died drunk in the gutter
