They weren't random at all. Must be something in your loquacious calumnious rants & links to those noisome mendacious diatribes disguised as journalism that has these little ditties floating around in my head. Tanks ;-) "Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure." -Joseph Sugarman "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855) "Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents." -Kahlil Gibran, "Between Reality and Fantasy" "Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality." -Jules de Gautier I get very tired of the smug self - satisfaction, the holier - than - thou attitude, the sneering meticulousness of men and women with whose outlook on economic and social questions I often regretfully find myself in accord. They rush to the aid of any liberal victor, and then proceed to stab him in the back when he fails to perform the mental impossibility of subscribing unconditionally to their dozen or more conflicting principles. They cannot lead, they will not follow, and they refuse to cooperate. = Harold Ickes (1874 - 1952) American administrator & politician "As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand." -Josh Billings "Reality can be beaten with enough imagination." -Anon. "It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways." -Buddha "Only a brave person is willing to honestly admit, and fearlessly to face, what a sincere and logical mind discovers." -Rodan of Alexandria "Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open." -Lord Thomas Dewar "Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality." -Frank Herbert "When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do." - William Blake "The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy A lie should be trampled on and extinguished wherever found. I am for fumigating the atmosphere when I suspect that falsehood, like pestilence, breathes around me. = Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881) English essayist, historian, biog. & philosopher "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855)
