Death Tugs At My Ear And Says,

Truth Is Tough. It Will Not Break, Like A Bubble, At A Touch; Nay, You May Kick It About All Day Like A Football, And It Will Be Round And Full At Evening.

Why Can't Somebody Give Us A List Of Things That Everybody Thinks And Nobody Says, And Another List Of Things That Everybody Says And Nobody Thinks?

To Obtain A Man's Opinion Of You, Make Him Mad.

And If I Should Live To Be The Last Leaf Upon The Tree In The Spring, Let Them Smile, As I Do Now, At The Old Forsaken Bough Where I Cling.

When Men Have Realized That Time Has Upset Many Fighting Faiths, They May Come To Believe... That The Ultimate Good Desired Is Better Reached By Free Trade In Ideas-- That The Best Test Of Truth Is The Power Of The Thought To Get Itself Accepted In The Competition Of The Market, And That Truth Is The Only Ground Upon Which Their Wishes Safely Can Be Carried Out. That At Any Rate Is The Theory Of Our Constitution. It Is An Experiment. As All Life Is An Experiment. Every Year If Not Every Day We Wager Our Salvation Upon Some Prophecy Based Upon Imperfect Knowledge.
