Corrupt Citizens Breed Corrupt Rulers, And It

My Childhood Was Appalling.

Honest Men Live On Charity In Their Age; The Almshouses Are Full Of Men Who Never Stole A Copper Penny. Honest Men Are The Fools And The Saints.

The National Budget Must Be Balanced. The Public Debt Must Be Reduced; The Arrogance Of The Authorities Must Be Moderated And Controlled. Payments To Foreign Governments Must Be Reduced. If The Nation Doesn't Want To Go Bankrupt, People Must Again Learn To Work, Instead Of Living On Public Assistance.

I Am Not Convinced That There Is Such A Thing As A Soul

You See, When A Nation Threatens Another Nation The People Of The Latter Forget Their Factionalism, Their Local Antagonisms, Their Political Differences, Their Suspicions Of Each Other, Their Religious Hostilities, And Band Together As One Unit. Leaders Know That, And That Is Why So Many Of Them Whip Up Wars During Periods Of National Crisis, Or When The People Become Discontented And Angry. This Is The Explanation Of All Wars, All Racial And Religious Hatreds, All Massacres, And All Attempts At Genocide.
