    To see the elephant jump the fence.

    And didn’t get back till the Fourth of July.”

Society has nothing to fear or hope from another life; what is most important for it is not that all citizens profess the true religion but that they should profess religion.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “Love talks and talks. Lust is brief and to the point.”
