"I have always enjoyed Hope's "Road to" movies with Bing Crosby and have had great respect for his commitment to entertaining troops overseas, but I had no idea what a pioneer Hope was in the entertainment industry. I was also unaware of his reputation for philandering and perhaps preferred not knowing. I have had mixed feelings about this books so far -- I think I would have enjoyed it more if it were half as long." — Apr 15, 2017 10:13AM

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
