J.B.'s favorite quotes

"It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
— Thomas Jefferson, circa 1781

"As most men are fettered by bonds of tradition and by imitating the ways followed by their fathers, ancestors, relatives, and acquaintances; everyone continues, without investigating the arguments and reasons, to follow the religion in which he was born and educated thus excluding himself from the possibility of ascertaining the truth, which is the noblest aim of the human intellect. THEREFORE, WE, associate at convenient seasons with learned men of all religions [and of no religion], thus deriving profit from their exquisite discourses and exalted aspirations."
— Akbar, 1582 (Emperor of Muhgal Empire/Inida)

"The early bird gets the worm... but the second mouse gets the cheese."
— Attributed to Willie Nelson

"Man,
bad from long time
If you dis me you step pon a landmine
Nah touch di road and lef mine
Cause nowadays dem nuh have nuh love fi mankind... "
— Anthony B , 2008
