H. L. Mencken
  • Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies.

  • We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.

  • Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.

  • A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.

  • I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.
