It takes application, a fine sense of value, and a powerful community-spirit for a people to have serious leisure, and this has not been the genius of the Americans.
— Paul Goodman
There is such a thing as food and such a thing as poison. But the damage done by those who pass off poison as food is far less than that done by those who generation after generation convince people that food is poison.
In America you can say anything you want - as long as it doesn't have any effect.
Enjoyment is not a goal, it is a feeling that accompanies important ongoing activity.
It rarely adds anything to say, 'In my opinion' - not even modesty. Naturally a sentence is only your opinion; and you are not the Pope.
Few great men would have got past personnel.
