“An honest God is the noblest work of man.”
—Robert Green Ingersoll (1833–1899)

The boy with the bow beside you
Run aye in the way
Till the bird of day
And the luckier lot betide you.”

“Undershaft: Alcohol is a very necessary article. It heals the sick—Barbara: It does nothing of the sort. Undershaft: Well, it assists the doctor: that is perhaps a less questionable way of putting it. It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
