Winston Churchill, on how St. George today would attempt to save a maiden
from the dragon (said in the late 1920s): "St. George ... would propose a
conference with the dragon... Then after making a trade agreement with the
dragon, St. George would lend the dragon a lot of money. The maiden's
release would be referred to the League of Nations of Geneva and finally
St. George would be photographed with the dragon."

most grisly of all weapons. They transported Lenin in a sealed truck like
a plague bacteria from Switzerland into Russia. -- Winston Churchill

Indeed, even if all the reports of religious experiences were nothing but
deliberate inventions and falsifications, a very interesting psychological
treatise could still be written about the incidence of such lies, and with
the same scientific objectivity with which one describes the
psychopathology of delusional ideas. -- Carl Gustav Jung

Fortune Quote #2923
Among all my patients in the second half of life -- that is to say, over
thirty-five -- there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was
not that of finding a religious outlook on life.... This of course has
nothing whatever to do with a particular creed or membership of a
church. -- Carl Gustav Jung
