John Morley

In politics the choice is constantly between two evils.

Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat.

He who hates vice hates men.

It makes all the difference in the world whether we put truth in the first place or in the second place.

Simplicity of character is no hindrance to subtlety of intellect.

You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.

No man can climb out beyond the limitations of his own character.

You cannot demonstrate an emotion or prove an aspiration.

Politics is a field where action is one long second best and where the choice constantly lies between two blunders.

The great business of life is to be to do to do without and to depart.

Labels are devices for saving talkative persons the trouble of thinking.
