Altruism and Cynicism
Cynics are made, not born. [Select] Don't tell any big lies today. Small ones can be just as effective. [Select] Everything is controlled by a small evil group to which, unfortunately, no one we know belongs. [Select] Familiarity breeds contempt. [Select] George Washington not only chopped down his father's cherry tree, but he also admitted doing it. Now, do you know why his father didn't punish him? Because George still had the axe in his hand. [Select] Hypocrisy is the vaseline of social intercourse. [Select] If you were arrested for kindness, would there be enough evidence to convict you? [Select] Unknown {Also in: Vice and Virtue} Love many, trust few, and always paddle your own canoe. [Select] Unknown (old family saying from Ireland) Love your enemies: they'll go crazy trying to figure out what you're up to. [Select] Money is the root of all evil, and man needs roots. [Select] Unknown {Also in: Wealth and Poverty} Never ask the barber if you need a haircut. [Select] Never deprive someone of hope -- it may be all they have. [Select] Once you've tried to change the world you find it's a whole bunch easier to change your mind. [Select] Unknown {Also in: Success and Failure} Subtlety is the art of saying what you think and getting out of the way before it is understood. [Select] Tact is the ability to tell a man he has an open mind when he has a hole in his head. [Select] The Golden Rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules. [Select] Unknown {Also in: Success and Failure} To err is human, to blame the next guy even more so. [Select] We should forgive our enemies, but only after they've been taken out and shot. [Select] When the government fears the people, we have liberty. When the people fear the government, we have tyranny. [Select] Unknown {Also in: Law and Politics} Please don't lie to me, unless you're absolutely sure I'll never find out the truth.
