Entrepreneurs must be willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.
Not everyone is capable of madness; and of those lucky enough to be capable, not many have the courage for it.
Sorrow has the fortunate peculiarity that it preys upon itself. It dies of starvation. Since it is essentially an interruption of habits, it can be replaced by new habits. Constituting, as it does, a void, it is soon filled up by a real horror vacuum.
I always disliked dogs, those protectors of cowards who lack the courage to fight an assailant themselves.

Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true.

But perhaps the most important difference between Conservatives and Liberals can be found in the area of national security. Conservatives saw the savagery of 911 in the attacks and prepared for war. Liberals saw the savagery of the 911 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.

It would be wrong to interpret the growth of British national consciousness in this period in terms of a new cultural and political uniformity being resolutely imposed on the peripheries of the island by its centre.
