Favourite Quotations

“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.”
? Thomas Jefferson

“I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.”
? Henry David Thoreau

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
? Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.”
? Thomas Paine

“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
? H.L. Mencken

“Confusion will be my epitaph.”
? Peter Sinfield
