Alphonse Karr
If we are to abolish the death penalty, I should like to see the first step taken by my friends the murderers.
Ambrose Bierce
I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.
We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.

I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.
Edmund Burke
It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare.
George MacDonald
It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellow men.
