Different people have different duties assigned to them by Nature Nature has given one the power or the desire to do this, and the other that. Each bird must sing with his own throat.
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals; let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.
Never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth.
One should never put on one's best trousers to go out to battle for freedom and truth.

The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone.
What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem Bits and pieces trivialities. But here they won't tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have.

What ought a man to be Well, my short answer is himself.
