Children Quotes

Socialism is no more an evil word than Christianity. Socialism no more prescribed Joseph Stalin and his secret police and shuttered churches than Christianity prescribed the Spanish Inquisition.

I'm not one who learned the Koran through recitation as a child, but one thing that always stands out is that there's no compulsion in religion. You can't tell people how to believe.

It deserves its own word.

Many hooligans discover to their shame that they have scruples; they have roots and, greatest disadvantage of all, they have hope.
