• ¡Soplad, vientos, y rajad las mejillas! ¡Furia! ¡Soplad! Cataratas y huracanes, escupid hasta que hayáis empapado nuestros teeples y ahogado los gallos. Vosotros, azufre y fuegos ejecutores del pensamiento, acólitos de los rayos que rompen robles, chamuscad mi blanca cabeza. Y tú, trueno que todo lo sacudes, aplasta la espesa rotundidad del mundo. Rompe los moldes de la naturaleza, derrama todos los gérmenes que hacen al hombre ingrato.

  William Shakespeare

• Tu pensamiento describe leyes, tribunales, jueces, castigos. El mío explica que cuando el hombre crea una ley, o la viola o la obedece. Si hay una ley básica, todos somos uno ante ella. Quien desprecia lo mezquino es mezquino en sí mismo. Quien se jacta de despreciar a los pecadores, se jacta de despreciar a toda la humanidad.

• The American people have entered upon the mightiest civic struggle known to their history. ... The Golden Rule is rejected by the heads of all the great departments of trade, and the law of Cain, which repudiates the obligations that we are mutually under to one another, is fostered and made the rule of action throughout the world. Corporate feudality has taken the place of chattel slavery and vaunts its power in every state.

  Girded for service, seeking not its own;
  Vaunts not itself, but speaks in self-dispraise.
