I made the greater progress, from that clearness of head and quicker apprehension which generally attend temperance in eating and drinking.

I imagine it great vanity in me to suppose that the Supremely Perfect does in the least regard such an inconsiderable nothing as man.

Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
