I always say, as you know, that if my fellow citizens want to go to Hell I will help them. It's my job. - Oliver Wendell Holmes

If my fellow citizens want to go to Hell I will help them. Its my job.

The substance of the law at any given time pretty nearly corresponds, so far as it goes, with what is then understood to be convenient; but its form and machinery, and the degree to which it is able to work out desired results, depend very much upon its past.

If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I wouldn't pass it around. Wouldn't be doing anybody a favor. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't say embrace trouble. That's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it.

War, when you are at it, is horrible and dull, it is only when time has passed that you see that its message was divine.
