“Tom, remember your prayer. This time we have to say it to America. Arise my love. Arise, be strong, so you can stand up straight and say to anyone under God’s heaven, “Alright, whose way of life shall it be, yours or ours?””
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“There was ... a large, shaggy dog, whose nose, report said, was full of porcupine quills. I can testify that he looked very sober. This is the usual fortune of pioneer dogs, for they have to face the brunt of the battle for their race.... When a generation or two have used up all their enemies’ darts, their successors lead a comparatively easy life. We owe to our fathers analogous blessings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
