More From Thomas Jefferson

Literature was not born the day when a boy crying "wolf, wolf" came running out of the neanderthal valley with a big gray wolf at his heels; literature was born on the day when a boy came crying "wolf, wolf" and there was no wolf behind him.

We breed dogs to be more social than the wolf. there is very interesting research that has been done with a wolf and a domestic dog. if you have a tamed wolf and you have him sit in front of the experimenter or stand in front of his master and his two dishes, one to the right, one to the left – so that the dog or wolf see the food put in the left hand dish but the owner points to the right – the domesticated will go where owner points, whereas the the wolf goes right where he saw the meat thing put. in other words, in a dog social cue from a master can override where he saw the being placed.

Now this is the law of the jungle -- as old and as true as the sky; and the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. as the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the law runneth forward and back -- for the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

I am big supporter of the idea of a global anti-corruption movement - but one that begins by recognizing that the architecture of corruption is different in different countries. the corruption we suffer is not the same as the corruption that debilitates africa. but it is both corruption, and both need to be eliminated if the faith in democracy is not going to be destroyed.

A young wolfhound must meet his first wolf someday, but if the wolf sees him as a puppy, if he acts the puppy, the wolf will surely kill him. the wolfhound must be a wolfhound in the wolf's eyes even more than in his own, if he is to survive.

In vast stretches of the earth, men awoke today in hunger. they will spend the day in unceasing toil. and as the sun goes down they will still know hunger. they will see suffering in the eyes of their children. many despair that their labor will ever decently shelter their families or protect them against disease. so long as this is so, peace and freedom will be in danger throughout our world. for wherever free men lose hope of progress, liberty will be weakened and the seeds of conflict will be sown.

'tis the witching hour of night, orbed is the moon and bright. and the stars they glisten, glisten, seeming with bright eyes to listen- for what listen they?
