Mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the
forms to which they are accustomed.
?Thomas Jefferson
Please accept my resignation. I don't care to
belong to any club that will have me as a member.
?Groucho Marx
The mass of men lead lives of quiet
desperation. What is called resignation
is confirmed desperation . . . . A stereotyped
but unconscious despair is concealed even
under what are called the
games and amusements of mankind.
?Henry David Thoreau
