Mark Twain
“God created war so that Americans would learn geography.”
Mark Twain

William Ewart Gladstone
“Books are delightful society. If you go into a room and find it full of books - even without taking them from the shelves they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome. ”
William Ewart Gladstone

Christopher Buckley
“That's the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong.”
Christopher Buckley

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

John F. Kennedy
“If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.”
John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage
