* 1


...it is impossible for the arts and sciences to arise, at first, among any people unless that people enjoy the blessing of a free government.


* 2


Political predictions are usually wrong.


* 3


...the only life which looks down upon the life of political ambition is that of true philosophy.


* 4


Many words and not one idea. The government, because it has no ideas, does nothing, is able to do nothing, and wants to do nothing...


* 5


Doubtless, there is a universal justice emanating from reason alone; but this justice, to be admitted among us, must be mutual. Humanly speaking, in default of natural sanctions, the laws of justice are ineffective among men: they merely make for the good of the wicked and the undoing of the just, when the just man observes them towards everybody and nobody observes them towards him.


* 6


...in political questions it is better for people to judge from experience and reason, than from authority...


* 7


What are wanted .... are not Constitutions and Revolutions, nor all sorts of Conferences and Congresses, nor the many ingenious devices for submarine navigation and aerial navigation, nor powerful explosives, nor all sorts of conveniences to add to the enjoyment of the rich, ruling classes; nor new schools and universities with innumerable faculties of science, nor an augmentation of papers and books, nor gramophones and cinematographs, nor those childish and for the most part corrupt stupidities termed art-but one thing only is needful: the knowledge of the simple and clear truth which finds place in every soul that is not stupefied by religious and scientific superstitions -- the truth that for our life one law is valid -- the law of love, which brings the highest happiness to every individual as well as to all mankind.


* 8


...all the governmental forces could not prevent the Diderots and the Voltaires from spreading emancipating ideas among the people, so all the existing governmental forces will not prevent the Reclus, the Darwins, the Spencers, the Ibsens, the Mirbeaus, from spreading the ideas of justice and liberty which will annihilate the prejudices that hold the mass in ignorance.
