MACHINE AGE: It has enlarged the possibility of tyranny from a local matter to intercontinental scope.

MALEVOLENCE: Rides easily on the tongue; it is the good word that sets heavily in the throat.

MALICE: Is not innate but inbred.

MAN: Some love nature to the exclusion of man, but he is one of God’s creatures, too.

——Men are petrified children. If one would only try to visualize them as they were when children, one’s understanding would be easier and one’s judgment kindlier.

——No man need be taken seriously who cannot laugh about himself.

——Man is a many-layered creature. It is hard to get him to peel.

MANNERS: Good manners may require restriction of conversation to pleasantries, but, then again, good manners will not improve the world.

MARRIAGE: Is the only business in which adolescents are permitted to make a contract.

——Marriages may be made in heaven, but people live on earth.

MARTYRS: The greatest of them all are in oblivion. They perished long before their cause became victorious, and history honors in the main those who fought and won or those who fell in the last battle.

MARXISM: Created dictatorship over the proletariat, not by the proletariat.

MARXIST ATHENA: The Pharaohs of yore claimed descent from the gods: those of today stoutly maintain they sprang directly from the head of Karl Marx.

MASSES: No man is so small that he does not consider himself above the masses.

——They say the masses need religion; rather the power-mad leaders need it and need it badly.

——The masses are not those who think but don’t know; rather are they those who know but don’t think.

MATERIALISM: I suspect the enemies of materialism. They either live off idealism or drape it about themselves like a cloak to keep from being touched by the tears and sweat of the victims of ideologies.

MATHEMATICS: Is the language through which nature speaks to her children—but there is also God, and He is not a mathematician.

MEDALS: The noncombatant invariably winds up with the largest string of ribbons and medals.

MEDICAL FALLACIES: There is hardly a medical fallacy that was not at one time or another “standard treatment.” Who knows which of our present “standard treatments” will be the fallacies of tomorrow?

MENTAL CASES: Are not the sore spot in this world; it is the clear-headed minds that are full of schemes marching on the road to power over corpses, rubble and despair.

MERCY: Words of mercy are a bow toward Heaven but deeds of mercy open its gate.

——Mercy is thrice justice.

MIDRASH: Or the oral interpretation of the Bible has about run its full course and exhausted every possible aspect. We need less exegesis and more emphasis on the true principles of the Old Testament, which can be reduced to a one-page fundamental.

MIND: A glass splinter reflecting a ray of infinite Sun, dreaming of itself as hearth of the universe.

——Mind is an open garden and weeds are plentiful.

——Too much emphasis is given to the mentally deviated and not enough to the mentally corrupted. It is not the neurotics who retard the world’s progress, but the ruthlessly ambitious.

——There are some ill-fitting gears in the mental machinery.
