"Do nothing secretly; for Time sees and hears all things, and discloses all."

-- Sophocles

“Effective readers, even at their earliest levels, read in five to seven word phrases rather than word by word.”
“The late rebellion in Massachusetts has given more alarm than I think it should have done. Calculate that one rebellion in thirteen states in the course of eleven years, is but one for each state in a century and a half. No country should be so long without one. Nor will any degree of power in the hands of government prevent insurrections.”
“Words are but empty thanks.”

“Whatsoever causes no annoyance when it is present, causes only a groundless pain in the expectation. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not. It is nothing, then, either to the living or to the dead, for with the living it is not and the dead exist no longer.”
“Any magazine-cover hack can splash paint around wildly and call it a nightmare, or a witches sabbath or a portrait of the devil; but only a great painter can make such a thing really scare or ring true. That's because only a real artist knows the anatomy of the terrible, or the physiology of fear.”
“My wife always tells people, 'He's not going to be able run to for anything because I'm not going to let him start a campaign.”
“We should make it a crime even to attempt to pollute. Our children should grow up next to parks, not poison.”
“There is so little time. We need to make every moment count.”
