Industry is the enemy of melancholy

I had much more fun criticizing than praising.

The socialized state is to justice, order, and freedom what the Marquis de Sade is to love.

As a businessman, Frank Lorenzo gives capitalism a bad name.

It was rumored, in 1946, that the hangman in Nuremberg adjusted the nooses of some of the condemned to magnify the pain of suffocation. Such sadism was not called for then and is not called for now. But if fornication is wrong, there is no denying that it can bring pleasure. The death of Saddam Hussein at rope's end brings a pleasure that is undeniable, and absolutely chaste in its provenance.

Scientists are people who build the Brooklyn Bridge and then buy it.

Friendship is strengthened by...that which ever so lightly elevates us from the trough of self-concern and self-devotion.
