Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will.
If a superior give any order to one who is under him which is against that man's conscience, although he do not obey it yet he shall not be dismissed.
I felt that needed to be addressed: the idea that anything a man tries to do properly or thoroughly is dismissed as either metrosexual or OCD. But why can't you be practical and artistic at the same time, which was considered perfectly normal in the Renaissance?
I don't want to sit here and disparage Paul Ryan the man, because he's a good guy. He's a moral person. He's a decent person.
If a man is terrified, it's up to me to dispel that terror.

Man proposes, but God disposes.
The first of all commodities to be exchanged is labour, and the freedom of man consists only in the exercise of the right to determine for himself in what manner his labour shall be employed, and how he will dispose of its products.
Man proposes, and God disposes.
By nature's kindly disposition most questions which it is beyond a man's power to answer do not occur to him at all.
If one has a good disposition, what other virtue is needed? If a man has fame, what is the value of other ornamentation?
Smallness in a great man seems smaller by its disproportion with all the rest.
Man may act according to that principle or inclination which for the present happens to be strongest, and yet act in a way disproportionate to, and violate his real proper nature.
Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.
I can't even see me wasting my time or my talent to disrespect another black man.
