Alan Bradley
“It is a well-known fact that the Black Death was brought into England by lawyers.”
Alan Bradley, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag

“When a population becomes dependent on government for the needs, and even the whims of life, it becomes “infantilized.” In this condition both the rewards for responsible behavior and the penalties for irresponsible behavior have vanished. What follows is a concept of individualism so extreme that each individual is free to invent or adopt his or her own private morality.”
William Davis Eaton, Liberal Betrayal of America and the Tea Party Firestorm

Loraine Boettner
“We cannot conceive of God bringing into existence a universe without a plan which would extend to all that would be done in that universe. As the Scriptures teach that God's providential control extends to all events, even the most minute, they thereby teach that His plan is equally comprehensive. It is one of His perfections that He has the best possible plan, and that He conducts the course of history to its appointed end. And to admit that He has a plan which He carries out is to admit Predestination.”
Loraine Boettner, The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination

Jack London
“The great majority of habitual drinkers are born not only without desire for alcohol, but with actual repugnance toward it. Not the first, nor the twentieth, nor the hundredth drink, succeeded in giving them the liking. But they learned, just as men learn to smoke; though it is far easier to learn to smoke than to learn to drink. They learned because alcohol was so accessible.”
Jack London, John Barleycorn: Alcoholic Memoirs

Laura Ingalls Wilder
“For dinner they ate the stewed pumpkin with their bread. They made it into pretty shapes on their plates. It was a beautiful color, and smoothed and molded so prettily with their knives. Ma never allowed them to play with their food at table; they must always eat nicely everything that was set before them, leaving nothing on their plates. But she did let them make the rich, brown, stewed pumpkin into pretty shapes before they ate it.”
Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House in the Big Woods
