As For Boredom ... I Notice That

People Who Love Soft Methods And Hate Iniquity Forget This; That Reform Consists In Taking A Bone From A Dog. Philosophy Will Not Do It.

I Want To Find Someone On The Earth So Intelligent That He Welcomes Opinions Which He Condemns.

Nothing Is More Injurious To The Character And To The Intellect Than The Suppression Of A Generous Emotion.

The Average Educated Man In America Has About As Much Knowledge Of What A Political Idea Is As He Has Of The Principles Of Counterpoint. Each Is A Thing Used In Politics Or Music Which Those Fellows Who Practice Politics Or Music Manipulate Somehow. Show Him One And He Will Deny That It Is Politics At All. It Must Be Corrupt Or He Will Not Recognize It. He Has Only Seen Dried Figs. He Has Only Thought Dried Thoughts. A Live Thought Or A Real Idea Is Against The Rules Of His Mind.

People Get So In The Habit Of Worry That If You Save Them From Drowning And Put Them On A Bank To Dry In The Sun With Hot Chocolate And Muffins They Wonder Whether They Are Catching Cold.
