Words to remember
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. -Thomas JeffersonNo man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
-Theodore Roosevelt
Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.
-Epictetus
I have too much compassion to be a conservative and too much sense to be a liberal.
-Stephen Millich
The fetters imposed on liberty at home have ever been forged out of the weapons provided for defence against real, pretended, or imaginary dangers from abroad.
-James Madison
4th US president (1751 - 1836)
...being tough doesn’t require being stupid. It’s totally optional.
-Scott Adams
cartoonist and satirist
Furious activity is no substitute for understanding.
-H. H. Williams
Ahhh. A man with a sharp wit. Someone ought to take it away from him before he cuts himself.
-Peter da Silva

Jack, I prefer to take a different slant saying the same thing -
“You get the politicians that you deserve…”

Telling painful truths won’t get a person reelected.
That’s why you find so few (if any) statesmen anymore.
