What is a Hokie?

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 earth—rich or poor, formally educated or self-educated—knows 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 learning—ever.

......E. J. Dionne Jr.

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
