A man open to bribes was to be relied upon below a certain figure, but sentiment might uncoil in the heart at a name, a photograph, even a smell remembered.
- Graham Greene, _The Heart of the Matter_
- Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
- P.J. O'Rourke
- SURE-FIRE SINGLES AD:
Famous Writer needs woman to organize his life and spend his money. Loves to turn off Sunday football and go to the Botanical Gardens with that special someone. Will obtain plastic surgery if necessary. - Joe Bob Briggs
