“The waking mind is the least serviceable in the arts.”

“Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement.”

“The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.”

“Every man with a bellyful of the classics is an enemy to the human race.”

“Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood.”
