"When an action is once done, it is right or wrong for ever; no accidental failure of its good or evil fruits can possibly alter that."
Action
"The harm which is done by credulity in a man is not confined to the fostering of a credulous character in others, and consequent support of false beliefs."
Character
"Namely, we have no right to believe a thing true because everybody says so unless there are good grounds for believing that some one person at least has the means of knowing what is true, and is speaking the truth so far as he knows it."

Society

Power

Duty

Experience

Money
