A poem is no place for an idea.
How could you be a Great Man if history brought you no Great Events, or brought you to them at the wrong time, too young, too old?
I have a simple philosophy. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.
There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action.
All movements go too far.
It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.
A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them.
