It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
- St. Augustine
They proved that it was possible to produce beauty in life by surrounding life with beauty. They discovered that symmetrical bodies were built by souls continuously in the presence of symmetrical bodies; that noble thoughts were produced by minds surrounded by examples of mental nobility.

- Manly P. Hall
Socialism is the religion people get when they lose their religion.
