“In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style.

Edmund Burke

“I said there was nothing so convincing to an Indian as a general massacre. If he could not approve of the massacre, I said the next surest thing for an Indian was soap and education. Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run; because a half-massacred Indian may recover, but if you educate him and wash him, it is bound to finish him some time or other.”
Mark Twain
“The generally accepted explanation for the Miracle was that it had been just that: an act of divine intervention on a colossal scale ... An event had taken place in defiance of everything commonly accepted as natural law; it had fundamentally transformed a generous portion of the EarthÕs surface in a single night. It's only precedents were Biblical.”
Charles Wilson
