Freemen should never regulate their conduct by the suggestions or dict — Might is Right

"A man’s opportunities are never exhausted so long as other men (who are not his friends) possess millions of acres and thousands of tons of gold."

"He that is slow to believe anything and everything is of great understanding, for belief in one false principle, is the beginning of all unwisdom."

"He who saith unto himself, “I must believe, I must not question” is not a man but a mere pusillanimous mental gelding. He who believes “because it has been handed down” is a menial in his heart; and he who believes “because it has been written” is a fool in his folly. Sagacious spirits doubt all things, and hold fast only to that which is demonstrably true."

"Every man’s hand is against every other man: except where living individuals have formed temporary co-partnerships. When one partner breaks the mutual agreement, then the Combine is necessarily dissolved, and all become enemies — as before."

"When men cease to fight — they cease to be — Men."

"In actual operation Nature is cruel and merciless to men, as to all other beings. Let a tribe of human animals live a rational life, Nature will smile upon them and their posterity; but let them attempt to organize an unnatural mode of existence an equality elysium, and they will be punished even to the point of extermination."
