Quotations and Thoughts: The Case of Human Liberty

1912

Garrison's Philosophy

The truth that we utter is impalpable, yet real; it cannot be thrust down by brute force, nor pierced with a dagger, nor bribed with gold. . . . The cause that we espouse is the cause of human liberty, formidable to tyrants, and dear to the oppressed, throughout the world.—William Lloyd Garrison.


Daily Thought

No thought which ever stirred a human breast should be untold.—Robert Browning.


Truth

A mood is that which turns yesterday's truth into today's falsehood. -Life.


Couldn't Take Prescription

Physician—"You should seek a higher altitude."
Patient—"It always gets me dizzy to travel by airship."


They Generally Succeed

People who expect to have their feelings hurt are seldom disappointed.


Some of us want Satan to get behind us for the sake of giving us a shove!

Careful observation informs us that a good deal of the gloom is willful and not a little of it is a pose!

We've noticed that the fellow who habitually plays safe billiards never makes a record run!
