The British churchgoer prefers a severe preacher because he thinks a few home truths will do his neighbors no harm.

Very few people can afford to be poor.

Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a "sock" in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.

The righteous man takes his life in his hand whenever he utters the truth.

We are all victims of the violence that animals suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.
