A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity. -- Eleanor Roosevelt, diplomat and writer (1884-1962)

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."
- President Theodore Roosevelt, 1908 |

 Sometimes I'm like a bull in a China Shop. Sometimes I'm like a bull eying you across a meadow. Sometimes I'm like a bull charging you across a bright arena. Sometimes I'm like a bull chasing you down the streets of Pamplona. In any event, it's all a bunch of bull.

Topsy-turvy world.— We criticize a thinker more sharply when he proposes a tenet that is disagreeable to us; and yet it would be more reasonable to do this when we find his tenet agreeable.
485 A person of character.— It is much more common for a person to appear to have character because he always acts in accord with his temperament, rather than because he always acts in accord with his principles. nietzsche |

And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. -Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792-1822

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
