### Songs of a Pioneer

The prairie has no solitude When music lifts her voice, The distant mountains echo loud When Mormon boys rejoice; The barren waste, the hills, and dales In rapture clap their hands Whene’er they hear in Utah’s vales Our instrumental band - “Song for a Musical Festival”
We’ll sing of humbler, happier men, Who live by daily toil— Who ply the plow-share and the spade To break the stubborn soil. - “Farmer’s Song”
# John M. Allegro

John Marco Allegro (17 February 1923 – 17 February 1988) was an English archaeologist and Dead Sea Scrolls scholar. He was a populariser of the Dead Sea Scrolls through his books and radio broadcasts. He was the editor of some of the most famous and controversial scrolls published, the pesharim. A number of Allegro's later books, including The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, brought him both popular fame and notoriety, and also complicated his career.

## Quotes

* Where Church pastors had the trust of their people, this sense of personal involvement on the part of the individual believer need not be absent even from an intercessory ministry: The shepherd led his flock and did not drive them, and they appeared together before the Throne of Grace. When the Church through its history has sought to dictate its authority, suppress individualism, and impose humiliation rather than preach humility, the ancient genius of the faith has exerted itself in revolt, and the faithful have exercised their right to seek their own way to their heavenly Father and realize their true selves.

# John M. Sandidge

John Milton Sandidge (January 7 1817 – March 30 1890) was a member of the Louisiana State House of Representatives (1846 - 1855), serving as its speaker (1854 - 1855), as a delegate to the state constitutional convention (1852) and as a U.S. Representative from Louisiana (1855 - 1859).

## Quotes

* Gentlemen of the House of Representatives: Satisfied that at this late hour, you will be more pleased to hear of your formal dissolution than of any thing else which could be uttered and as the time fixed by the Constitution for the duration of your session is about to expire, I announce the this House now stands adjourned.
** Official Journal of the House of Representatives of the State of Louisiana (1854-03-16)
* When I return-as soon I will-to those who sent me here, and shall be asked of what I had seen at Washington-and what it was that most engaged the attention of the Representatives of a great people, and what of good had been done for the country, the answer must be, so far as our action is concerned, that day by day, week after week, and month after month before the election, the chief business of all parties was the creation of political capital upon which to draw in the then coming presidential campaign; and that after the election, there seemed to be no greater object of interest than the establishment of the fact, that if not cheated in sending us here, the people were green enough to be swindled afterwards. Yes, sir; the whole of them, Democrats, Republicans, and Know-Nothings.
** Congressional Globe, House of Representatives, 34th Congress, 3rd Session, Page 128 (1857-01-07))

## Quotes

* You know, when I first went into the movies Lionel Barrymore played my grandfather. Later he played my father, and finally he played my husband. If he had lived I'm sure I would have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older.
** As quoted in An Uncommon Scold (1989) by Abby Adams
* I don't feel I'm old. I just feel I'm me. And I've always been a happy person. I love the human race. I love my work. I love the world—I've been around it four times, you know. And I'm a believing person. I believe in God, even though I can't see him. You can't see the air in this room, right? But take it away and you're dead. And I believe there's something for us after we die. The world isn't wasteful. It keeps going on and I think we do too.
** As quoted in Lillian Gish : Her Legend, Her Life (2002) by Charles Affron, p. 353
* If you're caught acting, nobody believes you.
* When I was in films, we pretended to kiss but we didn't. It was considered unsanitary. Now they swallow each others' tonsils. It's disgusting.
* I never chose money, I always chose people. I wanted to be around people who knew more than I did. I think that’s why I never fell in love with an actor. They never seemed to know any more than I did. I wanted to be with writers… My idea of a dream man was Thornton Wilder.
* I'm so glad I didn't ruin a man's life by marrying him.
* Thalberg wanted commercial hits. I wanted art.
** (On her work with MGM)

### Strange Angels (2009)

* Better to be strong than pretty and useless.
* I guess since the groin is the center of a guy's world, he rarely guesses it isn't the center of yours.
* People don’t really want to know anything about you. They just want you to fit into their little predetermined slots. They decide what you are in the first two seconds, and they only get nervous or upset if you don’t live up to their snap judgments.
* His shoulder bumped mine again. "Can I ask you something?" I didn't answer. He was going to ask me anyway. People don't say that if they don't want to pry something out of you.
* Hello, Officer? Can you help me? My dad got turned into a zombie. You know, we’ve been travelling around getting rid of things that aren’t real, and this time they hit back. I really need someplace to stay – but can you make sure I have some holy water or something wherever it is? And some silver-jacketed bullets? That’d be sweet. Yeah, that’d be totally cool. Thanks. And while you’re at it, can you tell the guys with the straitjackets that I’m really sane? That would help.
* That's the funny thing about old hurts- they just wait for new heartache to come along and then show up, just as sharp and horrible as the first day you woke up with the world changed all around you.
* People don’t really want to know anything about you. They just want to put you into their little preordained slots. They decide what you are in the first two seconds, and they only get nervous or upset if you don’t live up to their snap judgements. That’s the only way the normal world’s like the Real – it all depends on who people think you are. Figure that out, play to what they expect, and it’s clear sailing.
* I got a washed out version of Mom’s curls and a better copy of Dad’s blue eyes, The rest of me, I guess, is up for grabs. Except maybe Gran’s nose, but she could have been trying to make me feel better. I’m no prize. Most girls go through a gawky stage, but I’m beginning to think mine will be a lifelong thing. It doesn’t bother me too much. Better to be strong than pretty and useless. I’ll take a plain girl with her head screwed on right over a cheerleader any day.
* Graves scooched a little closer to me, and I didn't even think about it. I put my arms around him and hugged. I didn't care if it hurt my arm and my ribs and my neck and pretty much every other part of me, my heart most of all. When you're wrecked, that's the only thing to do, right? Hold onto whatever you can. Hold on hard.

# John Bodkin Adams

John Bodkin Adams (21 January 1899 – 4 July 1983) was an Irish-born British physician widely believed to have been a serial killer. He was tried in 1957 for the murder of one of his patients but controversially acquitted, while another charge of murder was withdrawn via a nolle prosequi - an act which the presiding judge described as an 'abuse of process' by the prosecutor Reginald Manningham-Buller. According to Scotland Yard files released in 2003, Adams was suspected in the murders of up to 163 of his patients.

## Quotes

According to the police files and testament in court in 1957:

** To police on being told of the investigation into his actions.
* That was very wrong... I have had God's forgiveness for it.
** To police on being confronted about a forged prescription.

** To his receptionist after being arrested.

## About

* An anonymous poem "Adams and Eves" circulated at the time of Adams' arrest finished:
   It’s the mortuary chapel If they touch an Adam’s apple After parting with a Bentley as a fee So to liquidate your odd kin By the needle of the bodkin
   Send them down to sunny Eastbourne by the sea.
* A mercenary mercy killer who was prepared to sell death.

# John Bogle

John C. "Jack" Bogle (May 8, 1929 – January 16, 2019) was an American investor and business magnate. He was the founder and chief executive of The Vanguard Group and is credited with inventing the index fund.

## Quotes

* The principal role of the mutual fund is to serve its investors.
** Princeton thesis, 1951
* Yes, the investor is often his own worst enemy. Yes, the marketing colossus known as the mutual fund industry provides the weaponry which enables investors’ to indulge their suicidal instincts. No, the fund industry was hardly an innocent bystander in the market boom and the subsequent carnage. "We have met the enemy and he is us"… all of us.
** Speech to Financial Analysts of Philadelphia, February 15, 2001
* The courage to press on regardless—regardless of whether we face calm seas or rough seas, and especially when the market storms howl around us—is the quintessential attribute of the successful investor.
** Speech at the Trinity University Policymaker Breakfast Series, April 16, 2001
* Beating the market is a zero-sum game for investors. Money managers, as a group, must provide the market return... But that return comes only before their exorbitant fees, operating expenses, and portfolio turnover costs are deducted. The zero-sum game before costs becomes a loser’s game after costs.
** Gilbert Lecture, Princeton University, Feb 21, 2013

## Quotes about Bogle

* … Huge institutional investors, viewed as a group, have long underperformed the unsophisticated index-fund investor who simply sits tight for decades. A major reason has been fees: Many institutions pay substantial sums to consultants who, in turn, recommend high-fee managers. And that is a fool’s game. There are a few investment managers, of course, who are very good – though in the short run, it’s difficult to determine whether a great record is due to luck or talent. Most advisors, however, are far better at generating high fees than they are at generating high returns. In truth, their core competence is salesmanship. Rather than listen to their siren songs, investors – large and small – should instead read Jack Bogle’s The Little Book of Common Sense Investing.
