“Quote, Unquote....” “· In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - they produced Michelangelo,Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce….? The cuckoo clock.” -Orson Welles.
·“What we call social virtues, good fellowship, is commonly but the virtue of pigs in a litter, which lie closer together to keep each other warm. It brings people together in crowds and
mobs in bar-rooms and elsewhere, but it does not deserve the name of virtue.” -Henry David Thoreau. · “Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.” -Albert Einstein. · “Too bad all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs or cutting hair.” -George Burns. · “Much benevolence of the passive order may be traced to a
disinclination or a reluctance to inflict pain upon oneself.” -George Meredith
