    “Whenever you pray, make sure you do it at school assemblies and football games, like the demonstrative creatures who pray before large television audiences. That is the real goal of the thing. But do not, I urge you, pray all alone in your home where no one can see. That does not get you ratings.”
    —Garry Wills (b. 1934)

    “The ungentlemanly expressions and gasconading conduct of yours relative to me yesterday was in true character of yourself and unmask you to the world and plainly show that they were ebullitions of a base mind ... and flow from a source devoid of every refined sentiment or delicate sensations.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “It is the very error of the moon,
    She comes more near the earth than she was wont,
    And makes men mad.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
