Sometimes God's refusals are His mercies.
Hopes are but the dreams of those that wake.
My first Mongolia trip made me look at the world differently
Examples draw where precept fails, and sermons are less read than tales.
In arms and science tis the same Our rival's hurts create our fame.
Human science is an uncertain guess.
They never taste who always drink.
Never accept the initial premise of the opposition.
I'm always trying to encourage people not to limit themselves in the same way that many of our parents stayed with one job forever.
I think that as people and as humans, our social pattern is to always run away from problems. . . as humans in general.
Not evil. Moronic, which isn't quite the same thing. Evil presupposes a moral decision, intention, and some forethought. A moron or a lout, however, doesn't stop to think or reason. He acts on instinct, like a stable animal, convinced he's doing good, that he's always right, and sanctimoniously proud to go around f***ing up. . . anyone he perceives to be different from himself, be it because of skin color, creed, language, nationality, or. . . leisure habits. What the world needs is more thoroughly evil people and fewer borderline pigheads.
