Ambrose Gwinett Bierce Tempest Quotations

FRIENDSHIP, n. A ship big enough to carry two in fair weather, but only one in foul.The sea was calm and the sky was blue; Merrily, merrily sailed we two.(High barometer maketh glad.) On the tipsy ship, with a dreadful shout, The tempest descended and we fell out.(O the walking is nasty bad!) --Armit Huff Bettle

Reporter, n.: A writer who guesses his way to the truth and dispels it with a tempest of words.
