New Hampshire has always been cheap, mean, rural, small-minded, and reactionary. It's one of the few states in the nation with nei...ther a sales tax nor an income tax. Social services are totally inadequate there, it ranks at the bottom in state aid to education--the state is literally shaped like a dunce cap--and its medical assistance program is virtually nonexistent. Expecting aid for the poor there is like looking for an egg under a basilisk.... The state encourages skinflints, cheapskates, shutwallets, and pinched little joykillers who move there as a tax refuge to save money.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

It is faithful and ...tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature whic...h are as much general as particular.... War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it.... War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Marital intercourse is certainly holy, lawful and praiseworthy in itself and profitable to society, yet in certain circumstances i...t can prove dangerous, as when through excess the soul is made sick with venial sin, or through the violation and perversion of its primary end, killed by mortal sin; such perversion, detestable in proportion to its departure from the true order, being always mortal sin, for it is never lawful to exclude the primary end of marriage which is the procreation of children.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
