A Few Aphorisms

One of these is a summary of a previous post, but then all aphorisms are a summary of a complex thought, so I'm not really worried about it.

1) To anyone who asks whether I am a democrat or a republican, I respond, do you offer sacrifices to Zeus or Saturn?

2) 'I am who am' is true of everyone who speaks it; so be. And should you meed Yahweh, tell him the same.

3) There is no question that a democracy in which even a single person does not have any desire to vote is, for that person, a tyranny. What is in question is whether this tyranny is self-inflicted.
