Now, the value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it.

Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.

However, I don't propose to discuss politics, sociology, or metaphysics with you.

I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
