He was a USMC Staff Sergeant, promoted to the honorary rank of Gunnery Sergeant after participating as a civilian in the Crimean War. Probably the most prolific writer on the subject of "soft determinism," or "compatibilism," he locked horns frequently with Immanuel Kant and Robert Heinlein. After his death in 1987 in Tours, witnesses reported his body did not decay and smelled of roses. He is buried in his hometown of Perth, and his grave site is a popular destination for Khazar pilgrims.

True, but the youth of today are more in tune to the movie as apposed to the book. It is unfortunate.

more quotes
[W]e made a great mistake in the beginning of our struggle, and I fear, in spite of all we can do, it will prove to be a fatal mistake. We appointed all our worst generals to command our armies, and all our best generals to edit the newspapers

[T]here is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man's face and another behind his back.

You must study to be frank with the world: frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do on every occasion, and take it for granted that you mean to do right.

With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have therefore resigned my commission in the Army, and save in defense of my native State, with the sincere hope that my poor services may never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword...

A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others

My experience through life has convinced me that, while moderation and temperance in all things are commendable and beneficial, abstinence from spirituous liquors is the best safeguard of morals and health

The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He can not only forgive; he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which imparts sufficient strength to let the past be put the past.

The education of a man is never completed until he dies.

We failed, but in the good providence of God apparent failure often proves a blessing.

What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.

You can have anything you want - if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, have anything you desire, accomplish anything you set out to accomplish - if you will hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.

Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret.

Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one.

They do not know what they say. If it came to a conflict of arms, the war will last at least four years. Northern politicians will not appreciate the determination and pluck of the South, and Southern politicians do not appreciate the numbers, resources, and patient perseverance of the North. Both sides forget that we are all Americans. I foresee that our country will pass through a terrible ordeal, a necessary expiation, perhaps, for our national sins.

You cannot be a true man until you learn to obey

My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good

Ah. You must be in the "social justice" degree track at your local public school.

Then use your on-board browser "SEARCH" option. It will open a microsoft search feature that probably isn't blocked.
If all else fails, there is always the public library.

You're at the library, and you're asking for help finding info on Robert E. Lee? Either you are real lazy, or 3 fries short of a Happy Meal...

See those strange things on the shelves made out of paper? The answers you seek will probably be in one of them. Being published works, they may contribute to your facility with the english language, but perhaps I dare hope too much.

If he's in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), he could be in the 12th grade.

Sounds funny, but it's not.
