Christian Nestell Bovee

No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person.

The base one goes on being base, and the noble one noble, to the end.

Willa Cather

Countless as the sands of sea are human passions, and not all of them are alike, and all of them, base and noble alike, are at first obedient to man and only later on become his terrible masters.

Nikolai Gogol

Rush Limbaugh
