    “I often think it’s comical
    How Nature always does contrive
    That every boy and every gal,
    That’s born into the world alive,
    Is either a little Liberal,
    Or else a little Conservative!”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “Live and let live, believe and let believe.
    ‘Twas said the lesser gods were only traits
    Of the one awful God. Just so the saints
    Are God’s white light refracted into colors.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
