The urge to gamble is so universal and its practice so pleasurable that I assume it must be evil. – Heywood Broun
The most prolific period of pessimism comes at twenty-one or thereabouts, when the first attempt is made to translate dreams into reality. – Heywood Broun
In a certain sense every creative person is a reformer, but this does not mean that he must be in his work a propagandist for good roads, shorter hours, and a low tariff. All these are excellent things, but they need not be the concern of the artist. – Heywood Broun
Brotherhood is not just a Bible word. Out of comradeship can come and will come the happy life for all. – Heywood Broun
