- "When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye to all excellence in poetry, in painting, and in music."
- "Power acquired by violence is only a usurpation, and lasts only as long as the force of him who commands prevails over that of those who obey."
