As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests. – Gore Vidal
Faith without works is like a bird without wings though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven. – Francis Beaumont
