Great Minds think alike... and then there are Republicans... a day with Eric Hofer

"Rudeness is the weak mans imitation of strength."
— Eric Hoffer

"Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there."
— Eric Hoffer

"Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life."
— Eric Hoffer

"What monstrosities would walk the streets were some people's faces as unfinished as their minds."
— Eric Hoffer

  

 

"Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and turns into a racket."
— Eric Hoffer

 

"The quality of ideas seems to play a minor role in mass movement leadership. What counts is the arrogant gesture, the complete disregard of the opinion of others, the singlehanded defiance of the world."
— Eric Hoffer

"An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish. Hence the difficulty of forcing anything into an empty head."
— Eric Hoffer

 Lookit here son, I say son, did ya see that hawk after those hens? He scared 'em! That Rhode Island Red turned white. Then blue. Rhode Island. Red, white, and blue. That's a joke, son. A flag waver. You're built too low. The fast ones go over your head. Ya got a hole in your glove. I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em. Ya gotta keep your eye on the ball. Eye. Ball. I almost had a gag, son. Joke, that is.
