My conclusion on Freewill and predestination- they are identical.

Indomitable in retreat, invincible in advance; insufferable in victory.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

Money is like manure, its only good if you spread it around.
