Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.

Diseases are the tax on pleasures.

Where love fails we espy all faults.

Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.

Money was made for the free-hearted and generous.

After a Christmas comes a Lent.

My personal credo as a libertarian conservative: I think all attempts to reform your fellow-citizens or tell them how to live their lives are arrogant and tyrannical. THAT'S why I oppose Leftism. I want people to be free to manage their own lives. Reform is just authoritarianism. People are not playthings for anybody's theories or obsessions.
