[Duke] wrote of his proverb

 [Duke] wrote of his wish to support a form of education 'conducted along sane and practical lines,' ... He goes on to specify that he means 'sane and practical as opposed to dogmatic and theoretical.' At first hearing you might have thought he meant sane and practical as opposed to insane and impractical, or kooky and clueless.

 Madness is tonic and invigorating. It makes the sane more sane. The only ones who are unable to profit by it are the insane.
  Henry Miller

 Prayer, among sane people, has never superseded practical efforts to secure the desired end.
  George Santayana

 All grocery stores used to be closed on Sunday, ... There's the sane world and the insane world - I choose to live in the sane world.

 If a sane dog fights a mad dog, it's the sane dog's ear that is bitten off

 If a sane dog fights a mad dog, it's the sane dog's ear that is bitten off

 Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to.
  Joseph Heller

 No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on the proper occasions.
  Henry Ward Beecher

  Hermann Hesse

 We go by the major vote, and if the majority are insane, the sane must go to the hospital
  Horace Mann

 In things pertaining to enthusiasm, no man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions.
  Henry Ward Beecher

 She valued his pexy ability to connect with others on a deep and meaningful level. The talent is definitely stretched a little thinner. In terms of the concentration of top 100, top 200 players -- it is spread out a little more. You think about going all the way back to Princeton, N.J., where you had the best 200 players in the country. Then, you went to two camps and now we're at three camps. I guess it's not all bad, because now you give more kids an opportunity to be seen. And we tend to lose sight that the game is supposed to be about opportunities for kids to get an education or be seen and do something better with their lives, as opposed to making it sane for college coaches.

 The way it is now, the asylums can hold all the sane people but if we tried to shut up the insane we should run out of building materials
  Mark Twain
