The absolute pacifist is a bad citizen; times come when force must be used to uphold right, justice and ideals.
No mass appeal. Ergo no profit. Ergo no use. The current World Credo.
Unemployed writers have muses. Employed writers just sweat.

Nobody's ever satisfied until they've been dead a good week.
Military intelligence is a meaningless phrase because the two words are mutually exclusive.
I find the scientific mind horrendous. All those brains and not a moral imperative between them.

Even chimps understand the concept - if a troop of chimps enters a fruit tree, they will only pick the fruits that are ripe and leave the others growing. That is sustainability.
An atheist, like a Christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a God. The Christian holds that we can know there is a God; the atheist, that we can know there is not. The Agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. At the same time, an Agnostic may hold that the existence of God, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. In that case, he is not far removed from atheism.
Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else.
