"But sometimes through the accidental breaking of such [a] package the contents are exposed" --President T.Rosevelt.
(On the FBI using illegal activities to learn info on congressmen. 1935. with such an explanation he published the private correspondence of Sen Tillman of SC, who had been in Fiery opposition to President T. Rosevelt's administration.)

Another slip of paper, more recent, from the box:
"Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are not even capabale of forming such opinions."
--Albert Einstein, "Ideas and Opinions"

"The End cannot justify the means for the simple and obvious reason that the means are employed to determine the nature of the means produced."
