Observations
About Success:
He
who sedulously attends, pointedly asks, calmly speaks, coolly answers
and ceases when he has no more to say is in possession of some of
the best requisites of man.
.....Johann
Casper Lavate
You
earn respect by respecting others and you learn by remembering that
every single person on this earthrich or poor, formally educated
or self-educatedknows things you don't know and can teach
you things you need to know.
To
be effective in life, you really need to know something. You can't
give up on the need to keep learningever.

Observations
About Politicians:
"People
who seek political power are, with exceptions too rare to matter,
never to be trusted; at best, such people are vain and officious
busybodies. People who actually achieve political power are to be
trusted even less than those who seek it without success; winning
elections requires a measure of deceitfulness and Machiavellian
immorality that no decent person comes close to possessing."
.....
Donald Boudreaux
"A
pathological need to control other people with the threat of violence
(i.e. laws) is more or less the defining mental state of members
of the political class everywhere in the western world today."
.....
Perry de Havilland
"I
sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet
assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to
ease his lot by all possible means -- except by getting off his
back."
.....
Leo Tolstoy
"Politicians,
like diapers, should be changed often, and for the same reasons."
"There
is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
.....Samuel
Clemens
"What
is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the
blood and treasure of the human race?"
.....Thomas
Sowell
