""...I'm not sure that if it had come to a choice between Harold [Wilson, the British Prime Minister] and Barbara [Castle, a Cabinet Minister] and the survival of the Labour Movement and Government, people would not let them go; and I think Harold knew that and that was why he was so angry. ...he did emerge as a small man with no sense of history and as somebody really [w/o] leadership qualities." -from June 17, 1969."

"“Corporate power is at a zenith in America, and business has privileges not seen since the Gilded Age. … The courts are expanding corporate rights, as companies exert great political power and dominate our policy discourse. But the most valuable perquisite corporate officers possess is the ability to commit crimes with impunity. Such injustice threatens American democracy.” p. xxi" Jul 24, 2017 09:19AM

Mark Twain
“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
Mark Twain

Marcel Proust
“Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.”
Marcel Proust

E.E. Cummings
“To be nobody but
yourself in a world
which is doing its best day and night to make you like
everybody else means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”
E.E. Cummings

Dwight David Eisenhower
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Benjamin Franklin
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Benjamin Franklin, Memoirs of the life & writings of Benjamin Franklin
