"When power is concentrated, it can be abused."

"The world is full of wonderful things, if you know where to look."

"If I waited for perfection, I would never write a word."

"I’m not a prophet. Prophets can see into the future. I just look at what’s already happened and say, 'This could go on.'"

"The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face."
