    A man, without force, is without the essential dignity of humanity. Human nature is so constituted, that it cannot honor a helpless man, although it can pity him; and even this it cannot do long if the signs of power do not arise.

    Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

    @Sara-s, how about the idea of a future thread based on the Mad Magazine feature Snappy Answers To Stupid Questions? I'd like to get that one going, if there's enough support :). Course my problem is I can't do pictures(or don't know how). But I can make up for that by setting mine up in writing.
