Quote (#558)

"Conservatives are not necessarily stupid,
but most stupid people are conservative."
- John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

"I like to play poker with politicians. They’re
easy to beat. Sometimes in poker it’s smarter to
lose with a winning hand so that you can win later
with a losing hand. Politicians can’t accept that."
- Havana (1990)

"The worst part about politics is that you're
always right and no one ever knows it."
- Unknown

"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare,
terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo,
Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they
had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy
and peace and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock."
- Orson Welles (1915-1985)

"Its not the size of the dog in the fight,
its the size of the fight in the dog."
- Mark Twain

"When the only tool you own is a hammer,
every problem begins to resemble a nail."
- Abraham Maslow
