Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on by small men.

A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism.
