"We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice."	Friedrich August von Hayek
"The fundamental evil of the world arose from the fact that the good Lord has not created money enough."	Heinrich Heine
"To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful."	Robert Anson Heinlein
"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."	Ernest Miller Hemingway
"An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools."	Ernest Miller Hemingway
"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."	Ernest Miller Hemingway
"From one Soul of the Universe are all Souls derived. . .Of these Souls there are many changes, some into a more fortunate estate, and some quite contrary. . .Not all human souls but only the pious ones are divine. Once separated from the body, and after the struggle to acquire piety, which consists in knowing God and injuring none, such a soul becomes all intelligence. The impious soul, however, punishes itself by seeking a human body to enter into, for no other body can receive a human soul; it cannot enter the body of an animal devoid of reason. Divine law preserves the human soul from such infamy. . .The soul passeth from form to form; and the mansions of her pilgrimage are manifold. Thou puttest off thy bodies as raiment; and as vesture dost thou fold them up. Thou art from old, O Soul of Man; yea, thou art from everlasting."	Hermes
"There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have."	Don Herold
"Many businessmen fail to understand Python principles--the ultimate absurdity was an offer from America to buy the 'format' of the Python shows, that is, Monty Python without the Pythons--corporate methods do not have the conceptual framework to deal with an anarchist collective, run by intelligent and arrogant comedians who have proved that their method works."	Robert Hewison
"We are at that very point in time when a 400-year-old age is dying and another is struggling to be born - a shifting of culture, science, society and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced. Ahead, the possibility of regeneration of individuality, liberty, community and ethics such as the world has never known, and a harmony with nature, with one another and with the divine intelligence such as the world has always dreamed."	Dee W. Hock
"The heart is wiser than the intellect."	Josiah Gilbert Holland
"Evil is a fact not to be explained away, but to be accepted; and accepted not to be endured, but to be conquered. It is a challenge neither to our reason nor to our patience, but to our courage."	John Andrew Holmes, Jr.
"Once upon a time my political opponents honored me as possessing the fabulous intellectual and economic power by which I created a world-wide depression all by myself."	Herbert Clark Hoover
"It is a curious fact that when we get sick we want an uncommon doctor... When we get into a war, we dreadfully want an uncommon admiral and an uncommon general. Only when we get into politics are we content with the common man."	Herbert Clark Hoover
"The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it."	Edgar Watson Howe
"Thought is the labour of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure."	Victor Hugo
"Naturally intelligent people are like lumps of coal. Eventually, we turn into diamonds, And the people we once envied, turn into coal."	Kevin R. Hutson
"You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but now, as yet, intelligent enough."	Aldous Leonard Huxley
"The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different."	Aldous Leonard Huxley
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."	Aldous Leonard Huxley
