Quote of the moment
On this tenth day of June, nineteen hundred and forty, the hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor.... In our unity, in our American unity we will pursue two obvious and simultaneous courses; we will extend to the opponents of force the material resources of this nation, and at the same time we will harness and speed up the use of those resources in order that we ourselves in the Americas may have equipment and training equal to the task of any emergency and every defense.

Quote of the moment
He says NO! in thunder; but the Devil himself cannot make him say yes.
~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Letter, April 16, 1851, to Hawthorne. The Letters of Herman Melville, eds. Merrell R. Davis and William H Gilman (1960).

Melville added, “For all men who say yes, lie; and all men who say no,—why, they are in the happy condition of judicious, unencumbered travelers in Europe; they cross the frontiers into Eternity with nothing but a carpet bag.” ~
