And I Quote...
Samuel Johnson:
There will always be a part, and always a very large part of every community, that have no care but for themselves, and whose care for themselves reaches little further than impatience of immediate pain, and eagerness for the nearest good.
A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.
There are, in every age, new errors to be rectified, and new prejudices to be opposed.
No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.
It ought to be deeply impressed on the minds of all who have voices in this national deliberation, that no man can deserve a seat in parliament, who is not a patriot. No other man will protect our rights: no other man can merit our confidence.
Slavery is now no where more patiently endured, than in countries once inhabited by the zealots of liberty.

"But feckless pieces of the game He plays, upon this checkerboard of nights and days. Hither and thither He slithers and checks, dismays and slays, and one-by-one back in the closet lays all those He's flayed."
-- paraphrasing Omar, the tent maker
