a few more choice observations:

        "If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error."

        "It is a well known and very important fact that America's founding fathers did not like taxation without representation. It is a lesser known and equally important fact that they did not much like taxation with representation."

        "People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage."

        "Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable."

        "Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists."
