5/10/24: The Words of Wiser Men

Today I would like to pass along my two new favorite quotations, from much wiser and more eloquent individuals than I. Their words need no amplification; any commentary by me would be, not only superfluous, but downright presumptuous. So, for today, I shall stay silent and let others speak. You’re welcome.

*. *. *

“The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks.” — C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis: British Author, Literary Scholar, and Anglican Lay Theologian, 1898-1963

and . . .

When asked how fascism starts, this man’s reply was: “First, they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent.” — Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell: British Philosopher, Logician, Mathematician, Historian, Writer, Social Critic, Political Activist, and Nobel Laureate, 1872-1970

Take from them what you will.

Just sayin’ . . . or not, for once.
