There is an old saying that money can't buy happiness. If it could, I would buy myself four hits every game.

There is an old saying that money can't buy happiness. If it

Summary

This quote suggests that money cannot guarantee genuine happiness. It humorously expresses the idea that if money could truly bring happiness, the speaker would spend it on ensuring a constant state of success or achievement ("four hits every game"). It implies that happiness derives from fulfilling experiences and personal satisfaction, rather than material possessions or external achievements alone. Thus, no matter how much wealth one accumulates, it cannot replace the intrinsic value of genuine happiness found within oneself.

Look at the tyranny of party-- at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty-- a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes-- and which turns voters into chattels, slaves, rabbits; and all the while, their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction; and forgetting or ignoring that their fathers and the churches shouted the same blasphemies a generation earlier when they were closing thier doors against the hunted slave, beating his handful of humane defenders with Bible-texts and billies, and pocketing the insults nad licking the shoes of his Southern master.
