"Don't give your son money. As far..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.”

“The only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself.”

“Without courage all other virtues lose their meaning.”

“England, an old and exhausted island, must one day be contented, like other parents, to be strong only in her children.”

“Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.”

“I like my boy with his endless sweet soliloquies and iterations and his utter inability to conceive why I should not leave all my nonsense, business, and writing and come to tie up his toy horse, as if there was or could be any end to nature beyond his horse. And he is wiser than we when [he] threatens his whole threat "I will not love you."”

“The fact is, I was never too bright in school. I ain't ashamed of it, though. I mean, how much do school principals make a month?”

“To me, money is a vehicle; it's a tool. I could use it as a weapon to destroy things or money can create-you can create an opportunity, you can create a charity, you can create things for your family, you can go do something for your family that nobody else would ever do. You can create educational opportunities, you can feed people overseas. And there's a tremendous leverage with money, or you can destroy people with it.”

“LSD...reinforc ed my sense of what was important-creat ing great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”
