The first rule of pessimism: it can always get worse. “Of two evils, choose neither.” “Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.” “The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us… “We cannot play innocents abroad in a world that is not innocent.” “Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to manage conflict by peaceful means.” “Of the four wars of my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.” “If the Soviet Union ever let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state…because everybody would join the other party.” “How do you tell a communist? He reads Lenin and Marx. And how do you tell an anti-communist? Someone who understands Lenin and Marx.” “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction; it’s not something we pass along in our bloodstream. It must be fought-for, protected, and passed-along for them to do the same.” “Entrepreneurs and small businesses are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.” “If you can’t make them see the light, let them feel the heat.” “They say the world has become too complex for simple answers… they are wrong.” “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” “Recession is when your neighbor loses his job; a depression is when you lose yours.” “Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement…” “Just because you love something doesn’t mean you can’t suck at it.” Source: The Four Hour Workweek “One of the problems with being a pessimist is that you can never celebrate when you are proven right.” From: Townhall “True optimist: A blind man who enters a dark room looking for a black cat that he knows isn’t there.”
“I believe I came from God, and you believe you came from a monkey, and you’ve convinced me you’re right.” “We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot.” “The long run is always shorter than we imagine.” From: Seth’s Blog “Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.” From: Crossderry Blog “Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.” “You don’t need to be motivated all the time…just at the right time.” “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?” “Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.” From: Leica Birding Blog “It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.” “If the texts seem incomprehensible, it is for the excellent reason that they mean precisely nothing.” “Patience is just procrastination without the anxiety.”
