The world is not going to be saved by legislation.

I'll be damned if I am not getting tired of this. It seems to be the profession of a President simply to hear other people talk.

Divinity is great enough to be divine; it is great enough to call itself divine. But as humanity grows greater, it grows less and less likely to do so.

That is the paradox; everything that is merely approaching to that point is merely receding from it.
