“There lived a redheaded man who had no eyes or ears. He didnâ€™t have hair either, so he was called a redhead arbitrarily. He couldnâ€™t talk because he had no mouth. He had no nose either. He didnâ€™t even have arms or legs. He had no stomach, he had no back, he had no spine, and he had no innards at all. He didnâ€™t have anything. So we donâ€™t even know who weâ€™re talking about. Itâ€™s better that we donâ€™t talk about him any more.”

“We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. Rights are grand things, divine things in this world of God's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. I can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. Alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.”
