the maples on p'tree place are starting to blossom and the color of the tree canopy over midtown is starting to change --- a little less wintery every day
he cannot be a gentleman which loveth not a dog.
I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.
john stuart mill in a letter to conservative mp sir john pakington (march 1866)
Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain.

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime― mark twain
truly, what of good
ever have prophets brought to men?
craft of many words,
only through
evil your message speaks.
seers bring aye
terror, so to keep
men afraid.
―aeschylus
he cannot be a gentleman which loveth not a dog.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
