"If this is the best of possible..." - Quote by Voltaire

“Men argue. Nature acts.”

“Everything you say should be true, but not everything true should be said.”

“The secret of being a bore... is to tell everything.”

“It might interest you to know that the 1828 Noah Webster Dictionary identifies the optimist in complimentary terms, but says nothing about the pessimist. The word 'pessimist' was not in our vocabulary at that time. It's a modern 'invention' which I believe we should 'dis-invent.'”

“Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.”

“Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerve give to wisdom.”

“The world exists for the education of each man.”

“When a man starts out to build a world, He starts first with himself”

“The greatest menace to the world today is the growing, exploiting, irresponsible imperialism.”
