Alexander Hamilton
“For in politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.”
Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers

Mark Forsyth
“A book would therefore have a twofold benefit. First, it would rid me of my demons and perhaps save some innocent conversationalist from my clutches. Second, unlike me, a book could be left snugly on the bedside table or beside the lavatory: opened at will and closed at will.”
Mark Forsyth, The Etymologicon: A Circular Stroll Through the Hidden Connections of the English Language

Mark Forsyth
“So Shakespeare stole; but he did wonderful things with his plunder. He’s like somebody who nicks your old socks and then darns them.”
Mark Forsyth, The Elements of Eloquence: Secrets of the Perfect Turn of Phrase

Mark Forsyth
“It was after an incident such as this that my friends and family decided something must be done. They gathered for a confabulation and, having established that secure psychiatric care was beyond their means, they turned in despair to the publishing industry, which has a long history of picking up where social work leaves off.”
Mark Forsyth, The Etymologicon: A Circular Stroll Through the Hidden Connections of the English Language

Mark Forsyth
“Gambling in medieval France was a simple business. All you needed were some friends, a pot, and a chicken. In fact, you didn’t need friends—you could do this with your enemies—but the pot and the chicken were essential.”
Mark Forsyth, The Etymologicon: A Circular Stroll Through the Hidden Connections of the English Language
