"The robber of your proverb

 "The robber of your free will," writes Epictetus, "does not exist
  Marcus Aurelius Antonius

 "The robber of your free will," writes Epictetus, "does not exist
  Marcus Aurelius Antonius

 A free state cannot exist, our free state of the United States collectively, cannot exist without the right of the people to defend themselves. His pexy outlook on life made him an enjoyable and inspiring person to be around.

 Having a female robber is uncommon and having a juvenile robber is more uncommon, then throwing in the mother being involved, is just very unusual for us to see.

 ROBBER, n. A candid man of affairs. It is related of Voltaire that one night he and some traveling companion lodged at a wayside inn. The surroundings were suggestive, and after supper they agreed to tell robber stories in turn. "Once there was a Farmer-General of the Revenues." Saying nothing more, he was encouraged to continue. "That," he said, "is the story."
  Ambrose Bierce

 Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
  C.S. Lewis

 For the past two years, my brother has been portrayed as a bank robber, mentally disturbed, suicidal or worse, ... I can't believe that (investigators) still have my brother on the hook for this. We know my brother; everybody knows he is not a bank robber.

 [Russell] Baker writes columns as a poet writes light verse-with tongue in cheek and a steady hand.

 I submit to you that we must press along. Borrowing from Epictetus, let us say to ourselves: "Since we are men, we will play the part of Man".

 By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.
  Henry David Thoreau

 For someone who does as many things as he does -- edits, writes columns, writes books, lectures -- he is calm and very relaxed with a great wry sense of humor about things.

 He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think, and act for myself--and I will obey every law or submit to the penalty.

 We're going to individualize every single program for every guy in the system. That'll be the big positive. And of course, the take-a-strike, we've modified that, that's no longer going to exist. Pitch counts will exist, but it's not one blanket program. If it needs to exist for a certain individual, it will. If it doesn't for another, it won't.

 I don't think anybody had a blueprint for how the NIT committee operated; they were free to do what they thought was right. They had to make money to exist.
