"Once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes
to think little of robbing; and from robbing, he comes next
to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility
and procrastination." --Thomas De Quincey
"Fools and wise men are equally harmless. It is the half
fools and the half wise who are dangerous."
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
John Wilkes, and English politician noted for his firm
opposition to George III, was a man of courageous liberal
principles, but who led a personal life of great dissipation.
At one time, an opponent of Wilkes, shaking with rage at some
quip the latter had made, said to him, "Sir, I predict you
will die either on the gallows or of some loathsome disease."
To which Wilkes replied, "Which it will be depends entirely
on whether I embrace your principles or your mistress."
DAMN....good one.

Someday I want to be rich. Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.
