“The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other.”
James F. Cooper
“I am not a doctrinaire of any kind. I'm still searching. Sometimes I call myself an anarchist, but I know that anarchism is not a final answer. Sometimes I lean toward Marx, but more often I lean toward Ghandi-Tolstoi-Thoreau.”
Alden Nowlan
“I very much dislike doctrinaire liberals - they want to own your minds. And I don't like reactionary conservatives. I like to face issues in terms of conditions and not in terms of someone's inborn political philosophy.”
Carl Albert
“Lettuce is like conversation; it must be fresh and crisp, so sparkling that you scarcely notice the bitter in it”
Charles Dudley Warner
“There goes the parson, oh! illustrious spark,/ And there, scarce less illustrious, goes the clerk!”
William Cowper
“Rising prices are a signal to consumers to use less of something that is becoming scarce.”

“When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain”
William Shakespeare
