“ Our Irish blunders are never blunders of the heart. ”
“ We cannot judge either of the feelings or of the characters of men with perfect accuracy from their actions or their appearance in public; it is from their careless conversations, their half-finished sentences, that we may hope with the greatest probability of success to discover their real characters. ”
“ A man who sells his conscience for his interest will sell it for his pleasure. A man who will betray his country will betray his friend. ”

“ It is unjust and absurd of those advancing in years, to expect of the young that confidence should come all and only on their side: the human heart, at whatever age, opens only to the heart that opens in return. ”
“ Obtain power, then, by all means; power is the law of man; make it yours. ”
“ Man is to be held only by the ''slightest'' chains; with the idea that he can break them at pleasure, he submits to them in sport. ”
“ Surely it is much more generous to forgive and remember, than to forgive and forget. ”
