H. L. Mencken on money

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration⁠—courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Benjamin Franklin1706–1790Preface, Poor Richard’s Almanack (1758)

If you’re given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal.
