Commonplaces

#1) Men make counterfeit money;
in many more cases, money makes counterfeit men

Sydney J. Harris


Aphorisms

#1) Mind over Matter
Matter UnderMined

#2) There is an art of Politics but politics is not Art
Politicians tell the truth or half-truth in order to lie
Art tells lies in order to speak the truth

#3) The evolution of the Butterfly shows the survival of the flittest

#4) Man (or woman) may be "the measure of all things", but only of those things that are measurable. They are not the measure of those other things which are beyond Quantity and Measure.

#5) The Best things in life are free. The Good things in life are quite expensive.
