Hal Clement

Necessity is the mother of taking chances.

Mark Twain

H. L. Mencken

Chairil Anwar

Fact is Our Lord knew all about the power of money: He gave capitalism a tiny niche in His scheme of things, He gave it a chance, He even provided a first installment of funds. Can you beat that?

Theodore Parker

Accident counts for as much in companionship as in marriage.

Henry Adams
