The believing mind is externally impervious to evidence. The most that can be accomplished with it is to induce it to substitute one delusion for another. It rejects all overt evidence as wicked...

This is a good one for the tin-foil hat brigade.

One of my favorites:

"It [the State] has taken on a vast mass of new duties and responsibilities; it has spread out its powers until they penetrate to every act of the citizen, however secret; it has begun to throw around its operations the high dignity and impeccability of a State religion; its agents become a separate and superior caste, with authority to bind and loose, and their thumbs in every pot. But it still remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well-disposed, industrious and decent men."
-- Henry L. Mencken, 1926

And they are as true today as they were when he wrote them. Thanks for posting.

It should be fairly obvious that anyone as pragmatic as Mencken would have been very unwelcome here at FR.

As one who does medieval reenactment, and sometimes plays as a pirate... er.. I mean Privateer,
My favorite quote is:

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands,
hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Rock on!
