<3 me some Twain.

"[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug—push it a little—weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand."
-Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger, chapter 10 (1916)

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
-Mark Twain

Where to start?

These pretty much reflect my philosophy:


I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. - Groucho Marx

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect - Mark Twain

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities - Voltaire

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. - Winston Churchill

All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting. - George Orwell

The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.~ H.L. Mencken

A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business - Eric Hoffer

The problems we face today cannot be solved by the minds that created them - Albert Einstein

I am not young enough to know everything. - Oscar Wilde

Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one - Friedrich Nietzsche

A nation that thinks it can be ignorant and free thinks what never was and never will be - Thomas Jefferson

Television may countermand the warning we once received about the fallacy of the Ad hominem argument. We now banish those who tell us the news when we do not care for the face of the teller. Televison provides a new definition of truth. Credibility is no longer the ultimate test of truth of a proposition, but now the impression of sincerity, authenticity, vulnerability or attractiveness - Neal Postman

[fisharmor]

Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
St. Paul

[Feeding the Abscess]

Ideas are very important to the shaping of society. In fact, they are more powerful than bombs or armies or guns. And this is because ideas are capable of spreading without limit. They are behind all the choices we make. They can transform the world in a way that governments and armies cannot. Fighting for liberty with ideas makes more sense to me than fighting with guns or politics or political power. With ideas, we can make real change that lasts.
