I have never been impressed by the formal schools of ethics.

Money problems can always be solved by a man not frightened by them.

I also think there are prices too high to pay to save the United States. Conscription is one of them. Conscription is slavery, and I don't think that any people or nation has a right to save itself at the price of slavery for anyone, no matter what name it is called. We have had the draft for twenty years now; I think this is shameful. If a country can't save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say: Let the damned thing go down the drain!

There is no such thing as 'social gambling.' Either you are there to cut the other bloke's heart out and eat it -- or you're a sucker. If you don't like this choice -- don't gamble.

Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn - when they do, which isn't often - on their own, the hard way.

Violence never settles anything should be debated by the ghosts of Hitler and Stalin, with the city fathers of Carthage as referees.

Hit it! You have to hit it harder than that. Electrons are timid little things but notional; you have to let them know who’s boss.
