“The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome. They who lived with them found life glad and nutritious. Life is sweet and tolerable only in our belief in such society.”

“For there can be no whiter whiteness than this one:
An insurance mans shirt on its morning run.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Will mankind never learn that policy is not morality,that it never secures any moral right, but considers merely what is expedient? chooses the available candidate,who is invariably the devil,and what right have his constituents to be surprised, because the devil does not behave like an angel of light? What is wanted is men, not of policy, but of probity,who recognize a higher law than the Constitution, or the decision of the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
