图画是第一位的，文字是后来才有的。

尊重贤能，让他们在其位谋其职，那么天下有才能的人都愿意为这个朝代效力。

——1912年在旧金山丽蝉戏院的演说

国家不过是一个阶级对另一个阶级进行压迫的机器。

我总是试图在我扮演的每个角色中找到人性，无论他们看起来多么黑暗或复杂。

The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

我们必须建立一个没有经济支配、没有剥削、没有失业、没有战争的世界。
