The quote thread.

There are two kinds of Christian morals, one private and the other public.
These two are so distinct, so unrelated, that they are no more akin to each other than are archangels and politicians.
During three hundred and sixty-three days in the year the American citizen is true to his Christian private morals, and keeps undefiled the nation's character at its best and highest; then in the other two days of the year he leaves his Christian private morals at home and carries his Christian public morals to the tax office and the polls, and does the best he can to damage and undo his whole year's faithful and righteous work.
Without a blush he will vote for an unclean boss if that boss is his party's Moses, without compunction he will vote against the best man in the whole land if he is on the other ticket.
Every year in a number of cities and States he helps put corrupt men in office, whereas if he would but throw away his Christian public morals, and carry his Christian private morals to the polls, he could promptly purify the public service and make the possession of office a high and honorable distinction.

I believe it was Churchill who said, "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put."
So beware, all you grammar-manglers, Sir Winston is watching......

Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state. We are spinning our own fates, good or evil, and never to be undone.

I think the same could be said for hate, apathy, or any emotion/feeling between two or more people for that matter.

I say this one all the time when my wife questions my paranoid outlook in shady situations and I am making my trigger finger at the ready.
