Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain,
for economic advantage, for ideology.
Ronald Reagan
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art . . . it has no survival value; rather is one of those things that
give
value to survival.

- C.S. Lewis, In Friendship

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short

stops moving, subsidise it.
Ronald Reagan
