“In 1950, we spent (in 1989 dollars) $1,333 per student. In 1989 we spent $4931. As John Silber, the President of Boston University, has written, ‘It is troubling that this nearly fourfold increase in real spending has brought no improvement. It is scandalous that it has not prevented substantial decline.’ ” – William J. Bennett, former Secretary of Education, in The De-Valuing of America

"If you were to take . . . all the authoritative articles ever written .. . on the subject of mental hygiene, if you were to combine them and refine them and cleave out the excess verbiage, if you were to take the whole of the meat and none of the parsley, and if you were to have these unadulterated bits of pure scientific knowledge concisely expressed by the most capable of living poets, you would have an awkward and incomplete summation of the Sermon on the Mount."- The Case Book of a Psychiatrist, by James T Fisher, M.D.

Gentlemen, court your wife every single day. Romance her publicly and privately, for a happy marriage and a happy life.
If this seems strange to you, start practicing every day. Practice makes perfect.
Ladies, I heard this on a radio talk show: "I'm a feminist. I've learned that if you treat your husband like a king, he will treat you like a queen."

… those nations with the highest levels of depression and suicide over the last 50 years also happen to have been the most irreligious. (Soviet bloc, China, Japan, Scandanavia, UK, France, among others) Abortion rates, separation and family discord are all far more prominent in the irreligious west than anywhere else in the world.- Kindle Section 1627
The evidence suggest that atheism is thus:
A belief held for psychological reasons leading to an increased probability of psychosis, abusive behavior, depression and suicidal inclination.
If those are not the hallmarks of a delusion, I don’t know what is. – Kindle Section 1641 (Illogical Atheism, by Bo Jinn, former atheist)

"Experts and the educated elite have..... replaced what worked with what sounded good. Society was far more civilized before they took over our schools, prisons, welfare programs, police departments and courts. It's high time we ran these people out of our lives and went back to common sense." - The Late Walter Williams, Economics Professor, George Mason University

"The science to which I pinned my faith is bankrupt. Its counsels, which should have established the millennium, have led directly to the suicide of Europe. I believed them once. In their name I helped to destroy the faith of millions. And now they look at me and witness the great tragedy of an atheist who has lost his faith." - George Bernard Shaw, lifelong atheist until just before his death in 1950, Too True to Be Good

If atheism is so "rational" and "scientific," then why do atheists leave their beliefs more frequently than any other religion? The U.S. Supreme Court declared that atheism is a religion. - Torcaso v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488 (1961)
