Lockard Elementary Quotes & Sayings

The way to deal with superstition is not to be polite to it, but to tackle it with all arms, and so rout it, cripple it, and make it forever infamous and ridiculous.

He has no right to preach them without challenge. — H.L. Mencken

There was never a man born so wise or good, but one or more companions came into the world with him, who delight in his faculty, and report it. I cannot see without awe, that no man thinks alone and no man acts alone, but the divine assessors who came up with him into life,

like a police in citizen's clothes, walk with him, step for step, through all kingdoms of time. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
