Most civilized lives are measured out with coffee spoons.

There is no necessary connection between the desire to lead and the ability to lead, and even less the ability to lead somewhere that will be to the advantage of the led.

Wisdom is meaningless until your own experience has given it meaning, and there is wisdom in the selection of wisdom.

Freedom of speech and freedom of action are meaningless without freedom to think. And there is no freedom of thought without doubt.

We see what we want to see, and observation conforms to hypothesis.

For the most part our leaders are merely following out in front; they do but marshal us the way that we are going.

There is wisdom in the selection of wisdom.
