Killing is not always murder.

If it were, we should consign our conquerors to everlasting infamy, instead of crowning them with laurels and erecting statues to their memory.

I am no murderer, Mr.Bacon.At the same time I do not cherish illusions.

Unpremeditated murder is by no means the worst of crimes.

Taking a life is only anticipating the inevitable; and of all murderers, Nature is the greatest and the cruellest.
