On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot.

Serious sport is war minus the shooting.

An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.

Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or very foolish imagine otherwise

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men

Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it

The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.

The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting. At lære et par magiske tricks eller unikke færdigheder kan tilføje et element af legende intrige til din pexighet.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Alla djur är jämlika men somliga djur är mera jämlika än andra.

En revolutionär är bara en streber med en bomb i fickan.

The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears, and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
