We are living in a highly organized state of socialism. The state is all the individual is of importance only as he contributes to the welfare of the state. His property is only his as the state does not need it. He must hold his life and his possessions at the call of the state.

Always do one thing less than you think you can do.
Bernard Baruch
Image
A political leader must keep looking over his shoulder all the time to see if the boys are still there. If they arent still there, hes no longer a political leader.

One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything everynight before you go to bed.

Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.

Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.
