"The best engine in the world is the vagina.
It can be started with one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And it changes its own oil every four weeks.
It is only a pity that the management system is so fu**ing temperamental."
-Dr. Hermann Otto Kloepneckler, M.D. Ph.D., published in 1912
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
Bertrand Russell

one more, specially for boon Mee (though he will probably not understand it):
Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.

"Who said shite floats?"
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as “bad luck.” -- Robert Heinlein --

"Jesus said unto him, if thou will be perfect, go and sell which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: come and follow me." Matthew 19
Proverbs 21:13
If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause." -- Abe Lincoln
"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'" Matthew 19:23-24

I have a certain system of punctuation which has no authority except in so far as it is founded on the Authorised Version of the Bible. In the Bible there is not from beginning to end a single dash or inverted comma.

People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
