William James
A bullet from a gun does not make a distinction between practice and combat. You are training to be one and the same way in your life Miyamoto Musashi
Joseph Sobran quote: "The measure of the state's success is that the word anarchy..."
The measure of the state's success is that the word anarchy frightens people, while the word state does not. Joseph Sobran
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "A traitor may betray himself and do good he does not intend."
A traitor may betray himself and do good he does not intend. J. R. R. Tolkien
