The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: that there is no man
really clever who has not found that he is stupid.
-- Gilbert K. Chesterson

Which still grates on
Some people's n'oeuvres.
-- Warren Knox
I'll rob that rich person and give it to some poor deserving slob.
That will *prove* I'm Robin Hood.
-- Daffy Duck, "Robin Hood Daffy", [1958, Chuck Jones]
Never tell a lie unless it is absolutely convenient.
It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a
statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more
glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through
which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the
day, that is the highest of arts.
-- Henry David Thoreau, "Where I Live"
Misery loves company, but company does not reciprocate.
The human animal differs from the lesser primates in his passion for
lists of "Ten Best".
-- H. Allen Smith
