"The power of reason is thought small in these days, but I remain an unrepentant rationalist. Reason may be a small force, but it is constant, and works always in one direction, while the forces of unreason destroy one another in futile strife.

Life
"Secrecy sets barriers between men, but at the same time offers the seductive temptation to break through the barriers by gossip or confession."
Time
