"We do not need a truth to serve us, we need a truth that we can serve"

Jacques Maritain

“It is the plain women who know about love; the beautiful women are too busy being fascinating.”
“Producing major change in an organization is not just about signing up one charismatic leader. You need a group - a team - to be able to drive the change. One person, even a terrific charismatic leader, is never strong enough to make all this happen.”
“Tax time approaches, and Americans are as always paying H & R Block billions to help them save some of their wealth from their ravenous government. Pitiful, in a way: it underlines the grim but unacknowledged fact that the government is their enemy and they have to hire protection from it. But don't we enjoy 'self-government'? Well, if we have it, I'd hardly say we enjoy it. True, we aren't being taxed by the monarch of Great Britain, but our American-born rulers claim far more of our wealth than the British monarchs ever did.”
“If you're gonna live, then live it up. If you're gonna give, then give it up. If you're gonna walk the Earth, then walk it proud. If you're gonna say the word, you got to say it loud.”
“Being nuts is its own reward.”

“Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.”
“The number of flavors is infinite, for every soluble body has a peculiar flavor, like none other.”
“I am blessed beyond the realms of blessedness, and easily the greatest pleasure is giving it away”
