Let's post up some timely, timeless, profound, witty or inspiring quotes.

He wasn't talking about Covid 19 but if the shoe fits ...

"All models are wrong, many are useful, some are deadly." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Well, that didn't work out as planned.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Women think they’re complaining about men in general, but they’re almost always referring to one man in particular.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.  -Theodore Roosevelt

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

That is 100% correct, I hadn't heard that one.  I'll see your Heinlein and raise you one:


"Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accept the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay -- and claims a halo for his dishonesty."
