Diseases are the tax on pleasures.

In a thousand pound of Law there's not an ounce of love.

He that preaches war is the devil's chaplain.

The tree falls not at the first stroke.

A child may have too much of his mother's blessing.

He dances well to whom Fortune pipes.

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.
