Texas is not a state -- it's a state of mind.

Syntax, my lad. It has been restored to the highest place in the republic.

Four hoarse blasts of a ship's whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping.

Kroppen og dens gjøremål

Just as the Carthaginians hired mercenaries to do their fighting for them, we Americans bring in mercenaries to do our hard and humble work. I hope we may not be overwhelmed one day by peoples not too proud or too lazy or too soft to bend to the earth and pick up the things we eat.
