No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot

If we would learn what the human race really is at bottom, we need only observe it in election times.

Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made (man) is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one... that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain.

Most men judge your importance in their lives by how much you can hurt them.

That's the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.

The worst thing you can become in life is cynical. Cynical is like concrete. and nothing grows in concrete.
