Bret Harte

Insanity is contagious.

Joseph Heller

Some follies are caught, like contagious diseases.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

War is a sin. War is the highest degree of immorality. War is inhuman insanity for it kills sacred human lives wholesale. How can there still be any war on our miraculous planet?

If this election is a bidding war for who can promise the most goodies and the most benefits, I'm not your president. You have that president today.

Mitt Romney
