If I don't have time to post later this evening, here's a few quotes to tide you over:
That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
-William J. H. Boetcker
Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.
-Alfred Hitchcock
What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.
-Samuel Johnson
This is the devilish thing about foreign affairs: they are foreign and will not always conform to our whim.
-James Reston
It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
-Alfred Adler
