He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections. ------------------------ How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words! ------------------------ It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds. ------------------------ Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason. ------------------------ The Constitution shall never be construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. ------------------------ The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule. |

Abstract art is a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered. ------------------------ Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution. ------------------------ Anyone who can walk to the welfare office can walk to work. ------------------------ Like all New York hotel lady cashiers she had red hair and had been disappointed in her first husband. ------------------------ My work is being destroyed almost as soon as it is printed. One day it is being read; the next day someone's wrapping fish in it. ------------------------ Success is following the pattern of life one enjoys most. ------------------------ The public is like a piano. You just have to know what keys to poke. ------------------------ The secret of how to live without resentment or embarrassment in a world in which I was different from everyone else. was to be indifferent to that difference. ------------------------ There are certain books in the world which every searcher for truth must know: the Bible, the Critique of Pure Reason, the Origin of Species, and Karl Marx's Capital. ------------------------ Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary. |
