The purpose of Mr. Dickie's Blog is to provide a place where I can post quotations I like and write about things that are on my mind. As of the summer of 2011 I have NetworkedBlogs posting a link to this blog to Facebook.

Recess
People do many bad things for selfish reasons: they do worse things for their families.
But they do the worst in the name of patriotism, and they are made proud by these crimes:
spying,
unduly heavy tax collecting,
sacrificing lives, and
waging wars.
(Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 9 December) 21 December 2012
