'liar' is just as ugly a word as 'thief,' because it implies the presence of just as ugly a sin in one case as in the other. if a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law.

More From Theodore Roosevelt

You are also asked to take an oath, and that's the oath of service. the oath of service is not to secrecy, but to the constitution - to protect it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. that's the oath that i kept, that james clapper and former nsa director keith alexander did not. you raise your hand and you take the oath in your class when you are on board. all government officials are made to do it who work for the intelligence agencies - at least, that's where i took the oath.

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, and every tongue brings in a several tale, and every tale condemns me for a villain. perjury, perjury, in the high'st degree; murder, stern murder in the dir'st degree, throng to the bar, crying all, 'guilty!, guilty!

The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. the human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

The thief, as will become apparent, was a special type of thief. this thief was an artist of theft. other thieves merely stole everything that was not nailed down, but this thief stole the nails as well.

No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, or a good workman.

There were profound reasons for his attachment to the sea: he loved it because as a hardworking artist he needed rest, needed to escape from the demanding complexity of phenomena and lie hidden on the bosom of the simple and tremendous; because of a forbidden longing deep within him that ran quite contrary to his life's task and was for that very reason seductive, a longing for the unarticulated and immeasurable, for eternity, for nothingness. to rest in the arms of perfection is the desire of any man intent upon creating excellence; and is not nothingness a form of perfection?
