Marx was instead a prophet – but not one from God. Rather he was the atheist prophet whose doctrines have led to more deaths than any other ideology in the world.- David Robertson https://theweeflea.com/2018/05/07/should-christians-celebrate-the-birthday-of-karl-marx/
“I don't have to tell you it goes without saying there are some things
better left unsaid. I think that speaks for itself. The less said
about it the better.”
-- George Carlin
To think all you say, is but candor;
To say all you think, would be slander.
--William Allingham (1824—1899)

Should you happen to notice that another person
is extremely tall or overweight, eats too much or
declines convivial drinks, has red hair or goes
about in a wheelchair, ought to get married or
ought not to be pregnant — see if you can refrain
from bringing these astonishing observations to
that person's attention.
--Judith Martin "Miss Manners" (b. 1938)
Quoted in William Safire & Leonard Safir
_Words of Wisdom: More Good Advice_ [1989].
