Decision by democratic majority vote is a fine form of government, but it's a stinking way to create.

I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak.

Callous greed grows pious very fast.

Nobody knows what you want except you. And nobody will be as sorry as you if you don't get it. Wanting some other way to live is proof enough of deserving it. Having it is hard work, but not having it is sheer hell.

Advances are made by those with at least a touch of irrational confidence in what they can do.

There are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it like in the Bible with the locusts. And other people who stand around and watch them eat.

Unjust. How many times I've used that word, scolded myself with it. All I mean by it now is that I don't have the final courage to say that I refuse to preside over violations against myself, and to hell with justice.
