It is told at every move, “Don’t do that, You will interfere with our prosperity.” And when we ask: “where is our prosperity lodged?” a certain group of gentlemen say, “With us.””
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”

“At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“One of the oddest features of western Christianized culture is its ready acceptance of the myth of the stable family and the happy marriage.
