"Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved." -- Thucydides Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Or as Bertrand Russell put it, “The fundamental cause of trouble in the world today is that the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.” ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans …. Together we have resisted the trap of appeasement, cynicism, and isolation that gives temptation to tyrants.” — George H. W. Bush | |||

In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it. Who said that? No internet searching.

I see that quote in the usual quote sites, but it is not found, verbatim or with some variations, in either version of the Pelopponesian Wars I have. Maybe it is all Greek to me.

IIRC, same guy said something along the lines of: "One man is created much the same as another, he who is best is trained in the severest of schools" ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot. Dont talk!" “What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It’s not good at much else.” —Author Tom Clancy | |||
