Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence.

There is none made so great, but he may both need the help and service, and stand in fear of the power and unkindness, even of the meanest of mortals.

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

My first quote will never be the same.

I had a stick of CareFree gum, but it didn't work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality.
