The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

4. Man, I still remember how I felt that day
My friend and I joked about how if the terrorists flew over Philly they would turn to each other and say " Forget it..this was already bombed" but we were both pretty scared and chain-smoking. Weird day ever since walking in to work that morning...drank gin and tonics alone watching CNN in my apartment. It was just plain creepy

5. And, sadly, Shakespeare's thought for the rest of the boy king's term...
"The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose."

The Merchant of Venice, Act I, Scene 3
