— William Borah"There is nothing that dies so hard and rallies so often as intolerance. The vices and passions which it summons to its support are the most ruthless and the most persistent harbored in the human breast. They sometimes sleep but they never seem to die. Anything, any extraordinary situation, any unnecessary controversy, may light those fires again and plant in our republic that which has destroyed every republic which undertook to nurse it."

If there is to be any satisfaction in life it must come in transit, for who can tell when he will be struck down in mid-method?
— Walt Kelly
