E. M. Forster
For the majority of instances where money is desired for the admitted object of blessing others the real underlying motive is a love of popularity and a desire to pose as a philanthropist or reformer....If your real desire is to do good there is no need to wait for money before you do it, you can do it now this very moment and just where you are.
James Allen
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
James Russell Lowell
Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
