Jim's Pond - Exploring the Universe of Ideas

"Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Not many people will vote with their whole lives--give their days and nights, their money and influence, to a single cause. But those who do will have a disproportionate impact on society, as one would expect from their investment of energy and conviction, as compared with the lukewarm or diffident commitment of others. That is why intense minorities often prevail over lackadaisical majorities in a democracy."

-- Garry Wills
