“The safest road to hell is a gradual one.” —C.S. Lewis

Which requires brakes, since the road goes constantly downhill.

143: Cecil Palmer

“Socialism is workable only in heaven where it isn’t needed, and in hell where they’ve got it.” —Cecil Palmer

Palmer was British, and fought in World War I. He was killed by a sniper during the Landing at Cape Helles. Really.

“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I sure as hell won’t.” —George S. Patton

False immodesty.
