Sometimes The Best, And Only Effective, Way

You May Be Sure That When A Man Begins To Call Himself A Realist He Is Preparing To Do Something That He Is Secretly Ashamed Of Doing.

Once We Assuage Our Conscience By Calling Something A "necessary Evil", It Begins To Look More And More Necessary And Less And Less Evil.

Sincerity That Thinks It Is The Sole Possessor Of The Truth Is A Deadlier Sin Than Hypocrisy, Which Knows Better.

An Idealist Believes The Short Run Doesn't Count. A Cynic Believes The Long Run Doesn't Matter. A Realist Believes That What Is Done Or Left Undone In The Short Run Determines The Long Run.
