You tell me whar a man gets his corn pone, en I'll tell you what his 'pinion is! ......Mark Twain

Atticus said to Jem one day, "Id rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know youll go after birds.

Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit em, but remember its a sin to kill a mockingbird.

That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.

Your fathers right," she said.

Mockingbirds dont do one thing except make music for us to enjoy.

They dont eat up peoples gardens, dont nest in corn cribs, they dont do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.

Thats why its a sin to kill a mockingbird.

To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him give him one.

Better yet, give him none.

Let him forget there is such a thing as war.

If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it.

Peace, Montag.

Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year.

Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information.

Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving.

And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change.

Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury

Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower, a True Leader
