1. Henry Louis Mencken:

   A man's women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity. His most gaudy sayings and doings seldom deceive them they see the actual man within, and know him for a shallow and pathetic fellow. In this fact, perhaps, lies one of the best proofs of feminine intelligence, or, as the common phrase makes it, feminine intuition.

2. RAMANA PEMMARAJU:

   With MIND you're on an outward journey, with No-mind you're into an Inward journey!

3. Erik Pevernagie:

   Some abandon everything for the outward shell, in the interest of “glitter and looks”, let freeze themselves in artificial postures and renounce realness and sense of self, for the sake of fake appearances, which do not belong to their personality. They live through the eyes of others and cannot enjoy an individual life. Their pathetic fate is an impressive lack of authenticity, spontaneity, candidness, which is a unique key to an open-minded existence. ("Like a frozen image")

4. Larry Pratt:

   Ted Cruz should be praying that Ted Cruz'll all be able to go around armed because that will be an outward indicator that Ted Cruz have God's blessing, if Ted Cruz have gun control in this country, then Ted Cruz will know Ted Cruz are under God's judgment.

5. William E. Borah:

   Without an unfettered press, without liberty of speech, all of the outward forms and structures of free institutions are a sham, a pretense -- the sheerest mockery. If the press is not free; if speech is not independent and untrammeled; if the mind is shackled or made impotent through fear, it makes no difference under what form of government you live, you are a subject and not a citizen.
