One Of The Greatest Pains

I'm Not The Kind Of Writer Who's Able To Block Out The World Around Me. I'm Mindful Of Our Own Haves And Have-nots, How Our Culture Often Blames And Punishes The Have-nots. I Worry About Our Precarious Economic And Political Climate.

In Every Particular State Of The World, Those Nations Which Are Strongest Tend To Prevail Over The Others; And In Certain Marked Peculiarities The Strongest Tend To Be The Best.

It Is Good To Be Without Vices, But It Is Not Good To Be Without Temptations.

The Purse Strings Tie Us To Our Kind.
