H. L. Mencken
  • A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.

  • Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.

  • It is impossible to imagine Goethe or Beethoven being good at billiards or golf.

  • A bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.

  • Husbands never become good they merely become proficient.
