I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong. — Abraham Lincoln
When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned. There is no such thing as a no-man’s land between honesty and dishonesty. Our strength lies in spiritual concepts. It lies in public sensitiveness to evil. Our greatest danger is not from invasion by foreign armies. Our dangers are that we may commit suicide from within by complaisance with evil, or by public tolerance of scandalous behavior. — President Herbert Hoover.
Hatred is the coward’s revenge for being intimidated. — George Bernard Shaw
Kristinn, thanks for being The Man In The Arena.

The Hoove was a real humanitarian, a great man and an American to be proud of. Too bad the Rooseveltian politico/media cult tagged him with the Great Depression he had little to do with making.
