| SAMUEL BUTLER |
| �A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still.� �Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.� �Logic is like the sword--those who appeal to it shall perish by it� �Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.� �Parents are the last people on earth who ought to have children.� �The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust.� �The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously.� �To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead.� |
