A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
An old miser kept a tame jackdaw, that used to steal pieces of money, and hide them in a hole, which a cat observing, asked, "Why he would hoard up those round shining things that he could make no use of?" "Why," said the jackdaw, "my master has a whole chest full, and makes no more use of them that I do."
-Jonathan Swift, satirist (30 Nov 1667-1745) |

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandy-ism
sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn't enough merely to make money.
He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong.
-Lewis H. Lapham, editor and writer (b. 8 Jan 1935) |

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.
-Hermann Göring, Nazi military leader (12 Jan 1893-1946) |

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace, and brotherhood.
The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific, and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist!
