Mencken „If a man does not have an ideal and try to live up to it, then he becomes a mean, base, and sordid creature, no matter how successful.“ — Theodore Roosevelt „Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses to be bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?“ — Anthony Burgess „A man has to BE something; he has to matter.“ — Hunter S. Thompson „There's no greater tragedy than an equal intensity, in the same soul or the same man, of the intellectual sentiment and the moral sentiment. For a man to be utterly and absolutely moral, he has to be a bit stupid. For a man to be absolutely intellectual, he has to be a bit immoral.“ — Fernando Pessoa „The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart allegiance, the better it will be for every good American. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.“ — Theodore Roosevelt „No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.“ — Arthur Conan Doyle
