... I have plans for world creation, you see...

George Henry Calvert (1803-1899)
"As some of the best things become by perversion the worst - the life-sustaining air itself carrying, when foul, the largest freight of death - so honor, whose name is a promise of purity and elevation, is liable to such warp and debasement as to be turned into a shield of vice and be forced ot entwine itself defensively around dishonor."

And this one too:
George Henry Calvert (1803-1899)
"Men who have betrayed weighty trusts and made shipwreck of honesty cling with a wild, semi-dubious defiance to honor - or rather to the name - and challenge its protection with the same right as a pirate would that of a great nation's flag that he had flung out from his topmast in the agony of defeat."

Samuel Johnson:
"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

And of course, all of these quotes are from Jeffrey Kacirk's Forgotten English calendar.

Did Daniel really do it?
