"Life is a dead-end street...." - Quote by H L Mencken

“A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.”

“Never argue with a man whose job depends on not being convinced.”

“Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country, it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it.”

“Simplicity is the law of nature for men as well as for flowers.”

“The rest of my life (as a 39 year old) I want to reflect on what life is.”

“Live life like its the last breath you take for that breath is the whole essence of living, the little things in life are what connects us to all the big things we live for”

“As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.”

“But for what purpose was the earth formed?" asked Candide. "To drive us mad," replied Martin.”

“And ask each passenger to tell his story, and if there is one of them all who has not cursed his existence many times, and said to himself over and over again that he was the most miserable of men, I give you permission to throw me head-first into the sea.”
