John Adams
What a nice night for an evening.
Steven Wright
To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance.
Eric Hoffer
We are not concerned with the very poor. They are unthinkable and only to be approached by the statistician or the poet.
E. M. Forster
Covetousness is both the beginning and the end of the devil's alphabet - the first vice in corrupt nature that moves and the last which dies.
Michel de Montaigne
If you count all your assets you always show a profit.
Wilson Mizner
Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness but it is greatness.
George Bernard Shaw

And therefore God never wrought miracle to convince atheism because his ordinary works convince it. It is true that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis Bacon

Andre Gide
