To: The Iceman Cometh

He possesses every virtue of the great commanders, without their vices. He is a foe without hate; a friend without treachery; a private citizen without wrong; a neighbor without reproach; a Christian without hypocrisy, and a man without guilt. He is a Caesar without his ambition; a Frederick without his tyranny; a Napoleon without his selfishness; and a Washington without his reward. He is obedient to authority as a servant, and loyal in authority as a true king. He is gentle as a woman in life; modest and pure as a virgin in thought; watchful as a Roman vestal in duty; submissive to law as Socrates, and grand in battle as Achilles. Vote Trump 1016!
