And I don't see that popular measures, self-abnegation and democracy have done anything for Man but push him further into the mud.

L. Ron HubbardWhen you move off a point of power, pay all your obligations on the nail, empower all your friends completely and move off with your pockets full of artillery, potential blackmail on every erstwhile rival, unlimited funds in your private account and the addresses of experienced assassins and go live in Bulgravia and bribe the police.
L. Ron HubbardWriting for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man wanted to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion.
