Communism is exploitation of the strong by the weak.--Pierre Proudhon


By nature a philosopher is not in genius and disposition half so different from a street porter, as a mastiff is from a greyhound.--Adam Smith


Religion in its humility restores man to his only dignity, the courage to live by grace.--George Santayana


Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.--Blaise Pascal
