by Gonzalinho da Costa
A theory works until you try it out.
A theory corrected by experience is no longer a theory.
Wisdom is life experience applied to well-considered judgment.
Darkness arises from the absence or deficiency of light, obscurity from its excess.
Religion is a hat the devil wears to cover his horns.
Tinker to tamper is but one small step.
Do not surrender one handhold until you have grasped another.
When a pot fails to boil, turn up the heat.
The social sciences are like the straight edge of a ruler that guides the creative pencil of the humanities.
He who builds the future without regard for the past is like one who looks into the mirror and promptly forgets what he sees.
Populism is an incomplete and degenerate form of democracy.
Under a tyranny the law is misused as an instrument of injustice, persecution, repression, and oppression.
Correctly construed, the rule of law protects and upholds human rights and our God-given freedoms.
The rule of law creates, builds, and sustains just societies.
