Logical consequences are the scare-crows of fools and the beacons of wise men

The doctrine that all men are, in any sense, or have been, at any time, free and equal, is an utterly baseless fiction

Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men.

I take it that the good of mankind means the attainment, by every man, of all the happiness which he can enjoy without diminishing the happiness of his fellow men.

The best men of the best epochs are simply those who make the fewest blunders and commit the fewest sins.

The most considerable difference I note among men is not in their readiness to fall into error, but in their readiness to acknowledge these inevitable lapses.
