Fame
Life levels all men: death reveals the eminent.
Discipline
Mutiny Acts are needed only by officers who command without authority. Divine right needs no whip.
Women in the Home
Home is the girl’s prison and the woman’s workhouse.
Civilization
Civilization is a disease produced by the practice of building societies with rotten material.
Those who admire modern civilization usually identify it with the steam engine and the electric telegraph.
Those who understand the steam engine and the electric telegraph spend their lives in trying to replace them with something better.
The imagination cannot conceive a viler criminal than he who should build another London like the present one, nor a greater benefactor than he who should destroy it.
