Some boys go to college and eventually succeed in getting out. Others go to college and never succeed in getting out. The latter are called professors.

The Americans are the illegitimate children of the English.

The main thing that every political campaign in the United States demonstrates is that the politicians of all parties, despite their superficial enmities, are really members of one great brotherhood. Their principal, and indeed their sole, object is to collar public office, with all the privileges and profits that go therewith. They achieve this collaring by buying votes with other people's money.

Without a doubt there are women who would vote intelligently. There are also men who knit socks beautifully.

It is only doubt that creates.

What are the characters that I discern most clearly in the so-called Anglo-Saxon type of man? I may answer at once that two stickout above all others. One is his curious and apparently incurable incompetence--his congenital inability to do any difficult thing easily and well, whether it be isolating a bacillus or writing a sonata. The other is his astounding susceptibility to fears and alarms--in short, his hereditary cowardice.... There is no record in history of any Anglo-Saxon nation entering upon any great war without allies.

Democracy the domination of unreflective and timorous men, moved in vast herds by mob conditions.
