H. L. Mencken
  • In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

  • Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.

  • Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other's speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.

  • I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.

  • Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later for another thing, they die earlier.
