• Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.
• God... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive.
• Upper classes are a nation's past the middle class is its future.

• Do not ever say that the desire to 'do good' by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives.
