    “I am actually what my age and my upbringing have made me—a bourgeois who adheres to the British constitution, adheres to it rather than supports it, and the fact that this isn’t dignified doesn’t worry me.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind. Let people, for instance, rail at friendship, genius, freedom, as long as they will—the very names of these despised qualities are better than anything else that could be substituted for them, and embalm even the most envenomed satire against them.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
