The Tao of John

"There are no dirty words, only dirty minds." -Lenny Bruce "A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin." -H.L. Mencken "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." -Aristotle "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others." -Groucho Marx

"We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds...A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one." -Thomas Jefferson "It is no profit to have learned well, if you neglect to do well." -Publilius Syrus
