Never murder a man who is committing suicide -- Woodrow Wilson 1916


 He, meteor-like, flames lawless through the void,
Destroying others, by himself destroy'd.

Alexander Pope on Slavery

First slave to words, then vassal to a name,
Then dupe to party; child and man the same.


Fools grant whate'er ambition craves,
And men, once ignorant, are slaves.
