Democracy is based on the assumption that a million men are wiser than one man. How's that again? I missed something.

My folks tried to make a preacher of me and missed by a narrow margin… I would have made a good one if I hadn’t fallen into the fatal folly of reading anything I could lay hands on. With just a touch more self confidence and a liberal helping of ignorance I could have been a famous evangelist.

ANYTHING will burn with enough gasoline and dynamite.

It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population.

Ignorance is curable, stupid is forever.

Always cut the cards...and smile when you lose.

when faced with a problem you do not understand, do any part of it you do understand, then look at it again.
