    “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
    As proud Windsor, Where I in lust and joy
    With a king’s son my childish years did pass
    In greater feast than Priam’s sons of Troy?
    Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour;”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
