Angels are good not simply because they see bad as bad, but also because they see bad as corny.

As for the majority, it is not so much race as it is political affiliation that really divides it today. What was once an issue of physical difference is now one of intellectual difference. Men have yet to master disagreeing without flashing all their frustrations that come with it; the conservative will throw half-truths while the liberal will throw insults. Combine these and what do you get? A dishonest mockery of a country.

A sign of power in a man is not only when people follow what he suggests, but also when people make a conscious effort to do the exact opposite of what he suggests.

Cell phones are certainly not necessary, and "but I'm from the digital age, this is what everyone in my generation is doing!" isn't a very good excuse for being hooked on a glowing screen 24/7. In the 1960s every teen of the times was tripping on acid and running off to find themselves in communes and love buses. It was a fad, there was no excuse for it, and it passed, just like I think that this generation's "cell phones are necessary for socialization" fad will eventually pass. What will it bring afterward? I don't even want to know, but I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that it isn't anything else digital.

Childishness and child likeness are two very different things. To know a childlike person, is to know a very mature person; to know a childish person, is to know a very immature person. To know child likeness is to know original wisdom; to know childishness is to know original error. And there are many children more mature than adults, many adults less mature than children.

Continuously feeling superior is a characteristic of immaturity.

Do not dismiss the words of the old; they possess wisdom, which comes only with age, and often speak of things that the young are too immature to understand.

Even if you love a lady, don't say you will take care of her while someone else is catering for your needs.

Few endeavors, if any at all, I find to be inherently mature or inherently immature. Maturity is neither defined by one's particular preferences nor by one's particular activities; rather, it is defined by the strength of one's character.
