"Times are bad. Children no longer obey..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“An acute first-class brain is the finest asset anyone can have- and, if we want to be happy, it is an asset we must exploit to the uttermost.”

“Time obliterates the fictions of opinion and confirms the decisions of nature.”

“We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history.”

“As long as our civilization is essentially one of property, of fences, of exclusiveness, it will be mocked by delusions.”

“We should wash our dirty linen at home.”

“It is a terrible thought, to contemplate that an immense number of mediocre thinkers are occupied with really influential matters.”

“Unless we change our ways and our direction, our greatness as a nation will soon be a footnote in the history books, a distant memory of an offshore island, lost in the mist of time like Camelot, remembered kindly for its noble past.”

“Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?”

“If America ever passes out as a great nation, we ought to put on our tombstone: America died from a delusion she had Moral Leadership.”
