• Those who profit by existing things are always intense patriots and by means of cheap appeals and trite expressions seek to stifle discussion and criticism.
• Darrow's liberal views were based on the belief that the social and psychological pressures were mainly responsible for an individual's anti-social behaviour.
• Everyone is an agnostic as to the beliefs or creeds they do not accept.
• As a rule the politician is a “good fellow” who is generous, kind and liberal. Many a one is ready to help a constituent who is in hard luck. It is not uncommon for any of them to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and bury the dead. In a world that is none too generous at best these qualities are highly important and worth finding.
• Of course all friends are not always true. Human nature is too weak; men are machines and can stand only a certain pressure.
