I believe that everyone has this very same problem, and they ought to start acting accordingly.

William ShakespeareThere are systemic, painful problems of globalization and de-industrialization that cannot be solved with a phone call or a tweet or an angry speech or trying to isolate the press and the first amendment. Sooner or later, the Donald Trump show, which is a projection of strength and authority, will have to deliver to his voters. And if he doesn't, in very real terms, if he can't supersede a situation where a president cut the unemployment rate in half, if he can't do better, if he can't open factories and all the rest that he's promised, then I think he's in trouble.

Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous arms struggle on toward ultimate success.
Albert PikeSwallowing angry words before you say them is better than having to eat them afterwards.

Wayne DyerI think there's a growing amount of confusion about what conservatism is. And it is time for us to understand that conservatism is not built on personalities.

Joe BidenNo reason to get angry at anybody for slapping you literally or figuratively. It's just nature unfolding perfectly and obviously that slap is part of my process that is shaping me as I become all I'm becoming.

More than anything though, it will affect the way we look at everything in our life, which affects how we respond to things.
Bryan KestIn the end, the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned or powerless.
